Mantis shrimp are colorful creatures with an incredibly powerful punch — comparable to a .22 caliber bullet. This punch is ...

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

Scientists have found that the mantis' punch limb, which is called the dactyl club, has a structure that enables it to absorb the shockwaves that are created when it punches and c ...

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 ...

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.

Case in point: Korean engineers have built soft robots capable of rapid and powerful joint movements by employing the same mechanism that gives the mantis shrimp such a powerful punch, according ...

The mantis shrimp delivers a punch at speeds of up to 90 km/h to break its prey, while the flea can jump to heights exceeding 200 times its body length. Professor Kyu-Jin Cho explained ...

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.

Siblings walking along the coast of the Isle of Wight found an “elusive” predator, a mantis shrimp, “tangled in seagrass.” Google Street View August 2024 ...
