Metalworking usually requires very high heat and pressure, but scientists in Singapore have now demonstrated a way to make very pure metal structures at room temperature. It’s inspired by the exoskeletons of crabs and insects.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Room temperature metalworking inspired by insects and crab shells
Chitin, which provides crucial exoskeletal structure and protection to soft-bodied arthropods such as crustaceans, spiders and insects, may have a surprising role in being able to modulate metabolism and fight weight gain in mammals.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading A novel obesity treatment could lie in the exoskeletons of crabs, bugs
Scientists building new materials are looking to nature for inspiration. Continue reading Crab and Shrimp Shells Could Be Used to Make Battery Parts of the Future
