1. Squid-inspired robot swims with nature's most efficient marine animals
Scientists at the University of Southampton and University of Edinburgh have developed a
flexible underwater robot that can propel itself through water in the same style as nature's
most efficient swimmer -- the Aurelia aurita jellyfish.
The findings, published in Science Robotics, demonstrate that the new underwater robot can
swim as quickly and efficiently as the squid and jellyfish which inspired its design, potentially
unlocking new possibilities for underwater exploration with its lightweight design and soft
exterior.
(1) Co-author Dr Francesco Giorgio-Serchi, Lecturer and Chancellor's Fellow, at the School of
Engineering, University of Edinburgh, said: (2) "The fascination for organisms such as squid,
jellyfish and octopuses has been growing enormously because they are quite unique in that
their lack of supportive skeletal structure does not prevent them from outstanding feats of
swimming."
The new robot was developed at the University of Southampton and is the first submersible
to demonstrate the benefits of using resonance for underwater propulsion. Resonance refers
to large vibrations that occur when applying a force at the ideal frequency, like pushing a child
on a swing. This allows the robot to use very little power but generate large water jets to push
itself forward.
(3) The simple but effective mechanism consists of rubber membrane enclosing eight 3D-
printed flexible ribs, which together form a 'propulsive bell'. (4) First , a small piston in the top
half of the robot taps this bell repeatedly so that it expands and then springs back. This
mimics a jellyfish's swimming technique and produced the jets of fluid to propel the robot
through the water. When the piston operates at with the correct frequency, the robot can
move at one body length per second and match the efficiency of the Aurella aurita jellyfish.

2. Method to find toxic chemicals in drinking water
Most consumers of drinking water in the United States know that chemicals are used in the
treatment processes to ensure the water is safe to drink. But they might not know that the
use of some of these chemicals, such as chlorine, can also lead to the formation of
unregulated toxic byproducts.
(1) Prasse said the number of disinfection byproducts that are regulated in drinking water
have not changed since the 1990s, despite clear scientific evidence for the presence of other
toxic compounds. (2) The existing approach to evaluate chemicals in drinking water is
extremely tedious and based on methods that are often outdated, he said. (3) For instance,
chemicals are currently evaluated for toxicity by expensive, time-consuming animal studies.
Applying those same methods to the growing number of chemicals in drinking water would
not be economically feasible, Prasse said. At a minimum, he added, new methods are needed
to identify chemicals that are of highest concern.
"This method can help us prioritize which chemicals we need to be paying closer attention to
with possible new regulations and new limits while saving time and resources," Prasse said.
(4) This new approach, which takes advantage of recent advances in the fields of analytical
chemistry and molecular toxicology, identifies toxicants based on their reactivity with
biomolecules such as amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. The new approach
simulates this process in order to identify toxic chemicals in drinking water.
