How mantis shrimp protect their powerful ‘fists’ of fury
“The periodic region plays a crucial role in selectively filtering out high-frequency shear waves, which are particularly damaging to biological tissues,” Espinosa said. “This effectively shields the shrimp from damaging stress waves caused by the direct impact and bubble collapse.”
How mantis shrimp survive their own lethal punches
Mantis shrimp are among the ocean’s most formidable predators, delivering one of the most powerful and fastest punches in the animal kingdom.
Mantis shrimp have the world’s fastest punch — here’s how their limbs survive
Insights from probing the shock-absorbing layer within the crustacean’s club-like claw could inspire the design of tough new materials.
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 punch is strong enough to shatter shells and even glass. Luckily, mantis shrimp remain protective from the force of their own blows,
Mantis Shrimp Remain Unharmed While Dealing Deadly Punches, Study Shows
Mantis shrimp can deal incredible blows without damaging themselves, but how? The makeup of their armor is key.
How mantis shrimp deliver punishing blows without hurting themselves
A mantis shrimp's punch creates high-energy waves. Its exoskeleton is designed to absorb that energy, preventing cracking and tissue damage.
Soft robots mimic mantis shrimp's punch and flea's leap for added power
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 perform rapid and powerful movements.
