The human arm can perform a wide range of extremely delicate and coordinated movements. The robotic ‘arms’ on underwater research submarines, however, lack the finesse to reach and interact with soft-bodied sea creatures. A new system lets biologists intuitively control a modular, highly flexible soft robotic arm by wearing a glove equipped with wireless soft sensors. This system also could one day enable the creation of submarine-based research labs.

Blue tit eggs that were laid in urban parkland were 5% larger than eggs laid in a nearby forest, which could be due to differences in the amount of calcium available to birds in urban and forest environments, a study finds.
