Korean researchers develop soft robot technology using torque reversal mechanism Innovative studies unlock potential of soft ...

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 ...

In a new study, scientists tested the complex layers in the animal's clubs that serve as mighty shields to absorb the shock of the impact ...

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

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 ...

Mantis shrimp withstand repeated high-impact forces without structural damage. Researchers discovered the shrimp's clubs feature a protective pattern that controls how stress waves travel through ...

Known for their powerful punch, mantis shrimp can smash a shell with the force of a .22 caliber bullet. Yet, amazingly, these tough critters remain intact despite the intense shockwaves created by ...

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

How mantis shrimp withstands shock of its .22 caliber bullet punch, study reveals Mantis shrimp are colorful creatures with an incredibly powerful punch — comparable to a .22 caliber bullet. This ...

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