With a single, strong punch, they can smash a shell with the force of a .22 caliber bullet, unleash a shockwave and even ...

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

Scientists have confirmed that not Mike Tyson, but the mantis shrimp has the fastest punch in the world using its special ...

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

A research team has taken inspiration from principles found in nature and developed the "hyperelastic torque reversal mechanism" (HeTRM), which enables robots made from rubber-like soft materials to ...

Mantis shrimp are among the ocean’s most formidable predators, delivering one of the most powerful and fastest punches in the ...

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

He is a native English speaker. Forget about Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali, the fastest punch in the world belongs to the mantis shrimp. This shrimp can smash a shell with the force of a .22 caliber ...

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 ...

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

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

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.
