The fearsome mantis shrimp has many fascinating attributes, most notably its powerful hammer-like rounded claws — technically known as “raptorial appendages” — that it uses to crack open ...

“When the mantis shrimp strikes, the impact generates pressure waves onto its target,” Espinosa said. “It also creates bubbles, which rapidly collapse to produce shockwaves in the megahertz ...

Indeed, the mantis shrimp’s “fist” moves so quickly that it creates a wave of low pressure in front of it, and small bubbles.

A mantis shrimp’s punch is so fast and powerful, it produces what’s known as cavitation bubbles. When the hammer launches at prey, it develops an area of low pressure, in which vapor bubbles form.

Inspired by the fist-like club of a mantis shrimp, a team of researchers led by University of California, Riverside, in collaboration with University of Southern California and Purdue University, have ...

The shrimp uses its club to destroy mollusk shells and crab exoskeletons, both of which are studied for their own impact resistance. The club creates an impact force that is more than 1,000 times ...

Cancer cells, it turns out, reflect light in a particular, polarized way that mantis shrimp can see. A tiny camera based on the shrimp's eye might help doctors better visualize tumors during surgery.

However, like their land-based namesake, the preying mantis, they use their lightning-fast forelimbs to snag a meal. Mantis shrimp apply two main strategies — spearing or clubbing.
