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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that Professor Kyu-Jin Cho's research team from the Department of ...

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.

A research team has developed the "hyperelastic torque reversal mechanism" (HeTRM), inspired by natural principles, allowing robots made of rubber-like materials to perform rapid, powerful movements.

Known for their aggression, Japanese mantis shrimp have earned their ominous nickname for a reason. These creatures can "punch" with such ... to understand the scale of this issue,” said officials.
