Researchers at MIT are now using 3D printing to bring humans up to speed with their animal kin by studying some of the sturdiest forms of animal armor, particularly fish scales, to design gear ...

That’s why this paper plate fish craft is an absolute hit with kids of all ages. It checks all the boxes: bright colors, easy steps, tactile textures, and a finished fish that actually looks adorable ...

Scientists at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and MIT have been developing a new armour inspired by fish skin (like the Arapaima gigas pictured) for the US Army Research Office.

Fish scales are natural dermal armors, according to the research paper, which have layers that grow together — and some fish scales are joined on an atomic level by collagen, a structural protein.

Scientists who studied why the scales of a huge Amazonian fish, which lives piranha-infested waters, are some of the toughest in the world hope their work could help to create armor.

Researchers at MIT have used 3D printers to study the structure of fish scales and use them as inspiration in the development of highly flexible and durable armor for military purposes, along with ...
