Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), led by Giovanni Traverso, developed a microjet system inspired by the jet propulsion mechanisms of cephalopods such as squids and ...

It is used to kill prey and to tear it into pieces small enough to ingest. Squid use a jet propulsion system to power themselves through the water and have three hearts that pump blue blood.

Squid are strong swimmers that use jet propulsion to move. They suck water into a siphon, then expel it out of the funnel in a fast, strong jet ...

Tusoteuthis moved via jet propulsion—it expelled water through a siphon on the lower part of its body. Squirts of dark inky fluid sometimes helped the squid blind and confuse predators like the ...

A native of Plano, Texas, [Alex] entered his squid-inspired underwater propulsion system in the 13-14 year old category. The red cylinder shown in the image inlay is his test rig. It is covered ...
