The sophisticated cephalopods have highly evolved vision and can use jet propulsion to escape predators, but there are a few key differences between squid and cuttlefish.

Imagine peacefully paddleboarding and enjoying the beautiful scenery around you, when suddenly a massive tentacle emerges from the depths and wraps itself around your board! Believe it or not, this ...

Squid Jet Propulsion Can Enhance Design of Underwater Robots, Vehicles Nov. 3, 2020 — Squids use a form of jet propulsion that is not well understood, especially when it comes to their ...

This included integrating fluid reservoirs, jet actuation systems, and power sources while ensuring biocompatibility.” Triggering the propulsion mechanism at the right time was another challenge.

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 ...

Hokkaido University researchers found ancient squids were the dominant ocean predators 100 million years ago - before dinosaurs went extinct.

Using jet propulsion inspired by squid, researchers demonstrate a microjet system that delivers medications directly into tissues, matching the effectiveness of traditional needles.

While many marine creatures move via jet propulsion, squid and jellyfish included, most just have one jet. Nanomia often has ten to twenty—the exact number varies colony-to-colony.
