Researchers have created an artificial gill that extracts oxygen from seawater to fuel cells, enabling robotic sea gliders or autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to operate on long missions.

The authors reasoned that many similarities between the appearance of cartilage under the microscope for zebrafish gills and human ears cannot be just a coincidence. Knowing that both the gills ...

What's good for fish may be good for robots, too, as researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon have developed an artificial gill that can extract oxygen from seawater to run fuel cells to ...

Georgopanos identified an oxygen-permeable silicone membrane that functions as artificial gills when integrated into the glider's hull. Exposed to oxygen-rich seawater on the outside, the membrane ...
