Researchers in the US are investigating the properties of marine sponges – bioinspired architecture that could pave the way for stronger, lighter structures of buildings and bridges.
In a new study, researchers at Harvards Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and John A Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) showed that the diagonally-reinforced square lattice-like skeletal structure of the deep-water marine sponge, Euplectella aspergillum, has a higher stren…
