Scientists have taken a close look at the physiology of the octopus, creatures that are ancient and unique. Their arms can operate independently of their central brain, each arm has a large bunch of ...

An octopus-inspired adhesive surface that works in wet and dry conditions has been created by researchers in South Korea. They believe their suction cups could find a range of uses including the ...

A new robotic suction cup which can grasp rough, curved and heavy stone, has been developed by scientists at the University of Bristol. The team, based at Bristol Robotics Laboratory, studied the ...

Past research has revealed that ' the eight legs of an octopus have a group of nerves that control the legs independently of the brain ' and that they have the ability to confirm the 'taste' of what ...

A team of Korean scientists has recently found a way to make building flexible pressure sensors easier -- by mimicking the suction cups on octopus's tentacles. With increased study of bio-adhesives, a ...
