Researchers explore sea turtle locomotion! NSF Science Now 14

The video covers various NSF-funded research projects. It begins with a study on how flexible wrists help sea turtles move through sand, leading to the creation of a bio-inspired robot, Flipperbot. Next, it discusses Comet Ison's anticipated close passage to the sun, with predictions about its visibility. The video then highlights a new digital camera inspired by insect vision, offering a wide field of view. Finally, it showcases a documentary project by Rutgers University students, capturing Antarctic research and innovative technologies.
