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

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 ...

The mantis shrimp is known for its incredible punch, striking with the speed of a bullet and enough force to shatter glass. But how does this tiny marine creature achieve such power? In this video, we ...

At the peak of their attack, the appendages of a mantis shrimp accelerate with 10,000 g-force, delivering a punch that can shatter glass aquarium walls. In addition to the mechanical blow, the speed ...

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

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

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.
