Within just two hours, it executed complex movements and operations near the seafloor. "By mimicking the manta ray's fluid silhouette, we've solved buoyancy and stability issues that plague humanoid ...

"By mimicking the manta ray's fluid silhouette, we've solved buoyancy and stability issues that plague humanoid underwater robots," said Fan Dixia, 35, the project's principal investigator.

ON April 5, 2025, 90 cadets from the Manta Ray Battalion woke up bright and early to clean up Koblerville as a community event at 7:30 a.m. The cadets split into two groups, one at Tottotville and the ...

On our first morning snorkeling in the aquamarine lagoon, I came mask-to-manta with Zoomie — a tailless 2-year-old ray. The Manta Trust doesn’t know what happened to her tail, or if she’s ...

Allied Cycle Works pulled the wraps off the next-generation ABLE gravel bike, their modern gravel speed machine. Narrow where it needs to be, aero shaping, and fits up to 57mm (2.3″) tires. It hits ...

But just how big can manta rays get? We’ll dive into the largest manta ray ever recorded and what size ancient manta rays may have reached. Besides their massive wings, manta rays can easily be ...

It was a high-tech project. Due to its resemblance to the marine creature, the drone was given the nickname “Manta Ray” and was seen parked at the naval station in California known as Port Hueneme.

The Manta Ray, as the craft is known, has been in the making for four years. What makes the craft so exceptional is the fact that it is designed to address biofouling and the corrosion of sea life.

The BMX-style Schwinn Scorch and Schwinn Iris are solid, coaster-brake-equipped bikes that our testers genuinely enjoyed riding back in 2017. While the Scorch has a coaster brake plus a hand brake ...
