Soft-bodied aquatic invertebrates, such as sea slugs and snails, are capable of diverse locomotion modes under water. Recapitulation of such multimodal aquatic locomotion in small-scale soft robots is challenging, due to difficulties in precise spatiotemporal control of deformations and inefficient underwater actuation of existing stimuli-responsive materials. Solving this challenge and devising […]
News, Mantis Shrimp Smash!
The peacock mantis shrimp packs a powerful punch. The crustacean uses its hammerlike claws to smash through mollusk shells and even aquarium glass without getting injured. Now, a new study reveals what makes its claws so tough: a unique composition and structure that stops cracks in their tracks—one that could help […]
Euro Biomaterials 2020, Global
Euro Biomaterials 2020 is a great platform for building a gap between academia and industry through innovative decisions in research methods in biomaterial science. Currently biomaterials are facing so many challenges in the field of medicine. To overcome this challenge, Euro Biomaterials 2020 allows delegates and students […]
