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

“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 ...

The mantis shrimp's muscles pull on the saddle-shaped ... The team demonstrates the operation of a robotic arm without HeTRM and one with HeTRM, each of which was made using a combination of ...

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 ...

The punch of the mantis shrimp has been studied in detail. As it moves through the water at high speed, it produces what is known as a cavitation bubble. As water is pushed aside at high speed, its ...

Researchers have discovered the shrimp’s clubs feature a protective pattern that controls how stress waves travel through its ...

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 ...

Device can grab like a hand, crawl across the floor, or jump high, just by pulling on a simple muscle. I'd never thought of these capabilities as being the result of the same properties -- but now ...

Mantis shrimp withstand repeated high-impact forces ... prevent damaging vibrations from propagating back into the shrimp's arm and body. "The periodic region plays a crucial role in selectively ...
