In a study appearing February 24 in the journal Current Biology, scientists found that jellyfish held by ultra-soft robotic fingers expressed significantly fewer stress-related genes than when braced by traditional submersible grippers. Shaped like the famous noodles, this new robotic technology allows for the collection of ecological data in a gentler, less invasive manner.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-02-soft-robot-fingers-gently-grasp.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Soft robot fingers gently grasp deep-sea jellyfish<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marine biologists have adopted &#8220;soft robotic linguine fingers&#8221; as tools to conduct their undersea research.
