- 2Study reveals the mechanics of octopus arm flexibility●I'm not a physicist (nor TBH a fan of the huge Prevagen scam), but I do appreciate # Octopi and their 'cleverness' and s
A new paper in Science Advances examines the mechanics and physics behind octopus arm flexibility, drawing attention to the remarkable dexterity of these animals.

- 3Continuous artificial muscle enables dexterous soft-robot motion●A continuous artificial muscle unlocks dexterous soft-robot motion
Engineers have developed a continuous artificial muscle said to unlock more dexterous movement in soft robots, an area where precise, flexible actuation has long been a challenge. The technology, reported by Tech Xplore, could broaden soft robotics applications in manipulation and delicate tasks. Technical details and potential commercialisation timelines remain limited in the initial reporting.
