“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 ...

Mantis shrimp are among the ocean’s most formidable predators, delivering one of the most powerful and fastest punches in the ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Watch a mantis shrimp punch its prey into submission using its specialized hammers. Tailored nucleic acid extraction and amplification methods help scientists overcome the challenges of detecting ...
