Animals that can run fast, such as the cheetah, tend to be medium sized. And an international team of researchers from Imperial, Harvard University, the University of Queensland and the University ...

DARPA’s robotic cheetah has sprinted past another speed milestone: The four-legged robot can now officially run faster than Usain Bolt, the fastest man in the world. Chalk one up for robots.

Watch a cheetah run as fast as a car driving 70 miles per hour. Watch a cheetah at the Houston Zoo run as fast as a car driving 70 miles per hour. It has a stride that can cover 30 feet in one bound.

Cheetahs tend to limit chases to distances of less than 1,000 feet, since running fast creates more body heat than can be released through evaporative cooling, i.e. panting and sweating through ...

Cheetah is the fastest land animal. A group of scientists has discovered why some animals, like the cheetah, run faster than others. And it boils down to body size and muscles that some animals ...

Cheetahs' spines are also made for running, with a special, scrunching structure that acts as a sort of spring for the cats' long legs, stretching their strides and shooting them through the turf of ...

That phenomenon is the way insects pee. He has discovered that certain pesky critters fling their urine far faster than cheetahs run, and he thinks the discovery might illuminate nondestructive ...

"That's faster than every single car on the market, and it only takes three steps," Rose-Hinostroza said. Cheetahs use their tails like a rotor to balance while they are running. Their top speed ...

These results are striking because even a cheetah (the fastest land animal on Earth) can only run up to 23 BL/s ... been trying to create soft robots fast enough to work in extreme environments ...
