💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐧🤖 Engineers at #MIT and #EPFL built a flapping-wing #robot that swims #underwater and flies into the air.

Inspired by diving #birds like #puffins, the small #vehicle folds its #wings to handle water density. This #technology could help scientists collect environmental samples from both air and #water.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐭🧬 #Apollo #astronauts preferred skipping on the #Moon, a gait adults rarely use on #Earth.

Researchers found that #mice adopt the same skipping gait in simulated lunar #gravity, but lose it when their #proprioception cells are disabled. The gait may offer a useful speed stability trade off on uneven low gravity terrain.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦎🧠 Scientists at the University of #Würzburg designed a #Mars #rover wheel that mimics the sandfish #lizard, a #desert #reptile that swims through loose #sand. The team tested their bio inspired #wheels on sand and open terrain showing steady movement and identifying areas for improvement.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🕷️💨 The jungle #huntsman #spider from #Queensland reached 3.59 meters per second, doubling the previous #arachnid speed record.

Researchers at #Imperial College #London measured 162 #species across four #continents to study spider #locomotion. They found that longer legs relative to body size predict greater speed.
