Researchers created ultrathin dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) rolled into tiny tubes to power robotic wings.
Apply voltage → the elastomer compresses → the wings flap.
Simple in principle, but vulnerable in practice: even microscopic flaws can trigger electrical breakdown in DEAs.

🐝✨ What bumblebees can teach us about resilient flight?
Bumblebees can lose up to 40% of a wing and still stay airborne. Most tiny flying robots, on the other hand, fail after the slightest tear. Inspired by this natural resilience, MIT engineers set out to redesign micro-aerial robots.

Bats play pollinate plants that sustain ecosystems and economies — including some of our favourite crops and drinks.

These minute insects are among the few capable of pollinating cacao’s intricate flowers. But their numbers are falling fast — victims of habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. Even in good conditions, fewer than 1 in 10 flowers ever become pods.
