The Amazon black ghost knifefish is a tropical fish known for its impressive maneuvering capabilities in the water. Researchers from the Northwestern University have designed a new type of underwater ...

Biologists Victor M. Ortega-Jimenez and Christopher P. J. Sanford at Kennesaw State University have discovered that black ghost knifefish can create suction with enough speed and power to make water ...

Electric fish are some of the most extraordinary creatures that live on this planet, and while ghost knifefish might not be the most deadly of these bright sparks, they do set their own records. They ...

Researchers have created a robotic fish that can move from swimming forward and backward to swimming vertically almost instantaneously by using a sophisticated, ribbon-like fin. The robot -- created ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have created a robotic ghost knifefish. It was no small feat: the ghost knifefish has a strange, ribbon-like fin that gives it incredible maneuverability, both ...

The weakly electric black ghost knifefish of the Amazon basin has inspired Northwestern University's Malcolm MacIver and an interdisciplinary team of researchers to develop agile fish robots that ...

Researchers at Northwestern University are developing robot fish to help them better understand movement systems and how they work with sensory systems. By experimenting with robots that move like ...

So what do you get when you put together a tank full of black ghost knife fish, some audio equipment, and a bunch of crazy people? A fish chorus. Black ghost knife fish, which would totally be an ...

It has long been assumed that when one brown ghost knifefish “chirps” at another knifefish by altering the electrical field it produces, it is communicating with the other fish. But it appears that ...

Biologists Victor M. Ortega-Jimenez and Christopher P. J. Sanford at Kennesaw State University have discovered that black ghost knifefish can create suction with enough speed and power to make water ...
