A new material that mimics the exoskeleton of insects has the strength and toughness of aluminum, but weighs half as much. "Shrilk," developed by a research team at Harvard University's Wyss Institute ...
Figure 1: Results of the bio-inspired topology. (a) Photograph of a seahorse specimen, (b) deformation schematic of the square exoskeleton of seahorses, (c) topological structure and (d) ...
Scientists from the Hochschule Bremen (HSB)—City University of Applied Sciences used a centrifuge to show that the exoskeletons of insects become stronger when they are raised under higher mechanical ...
Tsukuba, Japan—Some beetles, such as Anomala albopilosa, strongly reflect left circularly polarized light (electromagnetic waves that oscillate leftward relative to the direction of light reception).
When the gravity acting on them is increased, locusts adapt. Locusts placed in a centrifuge to mimic the conditions of hypergravity grew tougher legs than those living normally – but not all of them ...
All insects belong to the phylum Arthropoda. But unlike other arthropods—like lobsters, spiders, or millipedes—insects have ...
(Beyond Pesticides, June 14, 2023) The exoskeleton of the black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetica illucens) has the potential to be an effective organic fertilizer. A study in the journal Agriculture, ...
