Researchers have recently developed a flexible-yet-sturdy morphing structure inspired by the starfish skeleton that exhibits 4D morphing features with promising app<\/a>lications for robotics, aviation, and medical devices.<\/p>\n

“Starfish possess the remarkable ability to effortlessly hold themselves in any body posture by changing the stiffness of their endoskeleton,” says Raman Raman, a Ph.D. student in the Biological Structures and Biomimetics workgroup at Hochschule Bremen\u2014City University of Applied Science<\/a>s Bremen, Germany.<\/p>\n

Ossicles are calcite microstructures inside starfish bodies that are connected in a network by collagen fibers to form the endoskeleton. This strong but simple structure allows them to hold a wide variety of body postures with minimal energy use.<\/p>\n
