Interestingly, this robotic version could be used to install power lines underground efficiently. IEEE Spectrum reported that this worm-inspired robot utilizes a clever mechanism of alternating ...

Surface residue also gives the earthworms more time to acclimate to the summer or winter and move down into their resting state. No-till is even more important for nightcrawlers than for the ...

The worm moon will arrive on March 14, 2025, according to NASA. Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes the worm moon -- a celestial sign that winter is fading. Keep reading to find ...

An earthworm-inspired, self-propelled robotic sleeve designed for installing underground power lines has been developed by a ...

They chomp and chew the soil like underground earthworms, and ‘tunnel down’ in snaky worm-patterns, with the class forming four ‘worm-lines’ across the room. Eventually they snooze as a ...

Once declared by Aristotle to be “the intestines of the earth,” earthworms have been recognized for centuries as essential to the health of our planet's soil. But one of the most interesting ...

Earthworms move by contracting body segments in a wave-like motion, which is ideal for tight spaces. Interestingly, this robotic version could be used to install power lines underground efficiently.
