“Ghost” Jellyfish Drone Revolutionizes Stealth Underwater Surveillance

 

Modeled after real jellyfish, the robot features an umbrella-like dome and delicate tentacles made from hydrogel electrode material, allowing it to become nearly invisible underwater. With a diameter of 120mm and a weight of just 56 grams, the compact design ensures smooth and discreet aquatic movement.

Efficient and Silent Operation
Powered by an electrostatic hydraulic actuator, the device imitates jellyfish muscle contractions while consuming only 28.5 milliwatts of energy. Its ultra-low power use and silent performance make it ideal for long-term environmental monitoring, ecosystem studies, and underwater reconnaissance.

AI-Driven Underwater Intelligence
Equipped with artificial intelligence and a micro camera, the bionic jellyfish can recognize underwater objects using machine learning. Demonstrations have shown its ability to hover, track, and identify items like fish and artificial markers with precision—offering a glimpse into the future of autonomous ocean research.

Exam-Oriented Facts

  • Weight: 56 grams

  • Power usage: 28.5 milliwatts

  • Movement: Electrostatic hydraulic actuator mimicking jellyfish muscles

  • Technology: AI-driven object recognition with micro camera

  • Developed by mechanical and electrical engineering researchers

Strategic Advances in Bioinspired Robotics
This innovation is part of a broader movement in bioinspired engineering. Scientists are also developing robotic birds, geckos, and fish to mimic natural motion, paving the way for energy-efficient, stealth-capable robotics in marine research, environmental science, and intelligent systems technology.

Rediscovery of Ballistura Fitchoides

Image
  Recent advancements in biodiversity research have led to the rediscovery of a rare hexapod species known as Ballistura fitchoides. This species was first identified nearly a century ago in the Nilgiris by French scientist J. R. Dennis. The original specimen has since been lost, complicating efforts to study this springtail insect. However, a research team from the Molecular Biodiversity Lab at the Government Arts College in Udhagamandalam successfully characterised the complete mitochondrial DNA of this elusive species. Historical Context Ballistura fitchoides was first described in 1933 by J. R. Dennis. Initially named Ballistura fitchi, it underwent a name change in 1944 due to taxonomic revisions. Dennis collected only a few specimens, which were later lost from the Musée National des Sciences Naturelles in Paris. This loss left the scientific community without any known specimens for study. Rediscovery Efforts The recent rediscovery occurred in Kolavayal, Wayanad district, Ke...

Nanozyme Development to Combat Abnormal Blood Clotting

Image
  Recent advancements in medical research have led to the creation of an artificial metal-based nanozyme at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc.). This innovative approach targets abnormal blood clotting, particularly in conditions like pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). The research is a response to the urgent need for effective treatments in light of rising cases of thrombosis. About Blood Clotting Cascade Blood clotting is a critical physiological process known as haemostasis. It involves specialised blood cells called platelets. When a blood vessel is injured, platelets activate and cluster to form clots. This process is regulated by a series of protein interactions triggered by signals from chemicals like collagen and thrombin. The Problem of Over-Activation In certain conditions, such as PTE or COVID-19, the signals that regulate clotting can become dysfunctional. This leads to increased oxidative stress and high levels of toxic Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Consequently, pl...

Snowflake Yeast Reveals Into Multicellularity

Image
  Recent studies on snowflake yeast have revealed intriguing vital information about the evolution of multicellular organisms. This yeast, which exhibits unique growth patterns, has become a focal point for researchers exploring how lifeforms transitioned from unicellular to multicellular structures. The findings suggest that physical processes may play role in this evolutionary leap, challenging established genetic theories . About Snowflake Yeast Snowflake yeast, a variant of regular yeast, grows in clusters rather than as single cells. This growth occurs when the yeast’s buds do not detach from the parent cell, leading to the formation of large, visible clusters. Unlike typical yeast, which relies on genetic changes for reproduction, snowflake yeast demonstrates a different growth mechanism. Growth Mechanism of Snowflake Yeast The growth of snowflake yeast involves a physical process rather than solely genetic changes. Researchers observed that these yeast clusters thrive in nut...
