“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 ...

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

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.

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 taken inspiration from principles found in nature and developed the "hyperelastic torque reversal ...

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 ...

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

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.

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 ...
