“The periodic region plays a crucial role in selectively filtering out high-frequency shear waves, which are particularly ...

Insights from probing the shock-absorbing layer within the crustacean’s club-like claw could inspire the design of tough new ...

A research team has taken inspiration from principles found in nature and developed the "hyperelastic torque reversal ...

A mantis shrimp's punch creates high-energy waves. Its exoskeleton is designed to absorb that energy, preventing cracking and tissue damage.

Known for their powerful punch, mantis shrimp can smash a shell with the force of a .22 caliber bullet. Yet, amazingly, these ...

In one case in point, South Korean engineers have developed a soft robot capable of quick, powerful joint movements by employing the same mechanism that powers a mantis shrimp's powerful punch.

The molds and plate were removed after three hours of curing, and the team applied silicon adhesive to bond the rigid ...

Researchers developed a hyperelastic torque reversal mechanism, enhancing soft robots' performance with rapid and powerful ...

These solitary, aggressive animals are famous for their ferocious punch—as fast as a bullet and strong enough to snap a crab’s claw. Mantis shrimp live in warm, shallow waters in the Indian ...

Shrimp and fleas inspire the latest generation of robotics, using soft, rubbery materials to generate powerful motion.
