A swarm of robots capable of studying detailed ocean dynamics are described in Nature Communications. The small, autonomous robots can record 3D movements of water that have been difficult to measure using traditional instruments. Read the paper here: http://go.nature.com/2jYXfAQ | Nature Portfolio

A Nature Communications paper reports a chameleon-inspired soft robot that can change colour in real time to match its background. The research may have implications for next-generation wearable camouflage technology. Read the paper: https://go.nature.com/3Asj67C | Nature Portfolio
