An international team of researchers led by Hokkaido University has characterized the unique mechanics that enable Arcella, a ...

Just four different movements make up the 12 distinct arm motions that wild octopuses utilize to achieve complex tasks, like probing rocks for food. Research from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL ...

For years, scientists have been fascinated by the way octopuses move — fluid, flexible and without the limitations of bones. But observing these complex motions in the extreme conditions of the deep ...

Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute have developed a new deep-sea camera system that captures their clearest look at octopus movement in the ocean’s darkest depths. New ...

The study is the first to relate arm movements in octopuses in the wild to whole animal behaviors in complex, real-world settings. Octopuses are among the most neurologically complex invertebrates, ...

MBARI researchers have developed an innovative imaging system that can be deployed at great depths underwater to study the movement of marine life. The team used the system to study deep-sea octopus ...

Octopuses tend to keep secrets, but we've just learnt how they achieve their extraordinary dexterity. The fine control these almost-alien animals have over each of their eight arms is at least ...

Research describes a computational model that captures the intricate muscular architecture of an octopus arm. Mechanical engineering PhD candidate Arman Tekinalp, fellow graduate student Seung Hyun ...
