In addition to maintaining annoying pests such as flies and moths from flooding our homes (sometimes together with larger pests like snails), it seems that profits can still help humans even in death. A study of spider necrobiotics (using biological materials that died as a substitute for robot components) published on July 25, 2022, theorize that spider corpses have useful applications and like tools. The researchers realize that the physical properties of their spiders are operating through hydraulic pressure-powered air rather than controlling the muscles-causing them to settle to a closed position when fully relaxed (or dead).

And thus, by inserting a syringe into a particular area of ​​the profit -profit anatomy, they can inject a small amount of air to make all feet extend at once. Then after the legs relax returns to their closed state, they can hold and hold objects up to 130% of the mass of profit -The (although the amount is not as high as a greater profit). So, basically, they can connect the body of a profit -profit to act as a kind of robber which can then be used to manipulate items from various shapes and sizes – not ideal for Arachnophobia, but has the potential to help all the same.

But why?

Ignoring the strange nature of this proposed tool (and moral implications using corpses in such a way, and to put to fall -profit for further experiments), researchers are confident in their practical applications. First and especially, the physical nature of the spider’s body offers up to eight fingers that can be used for this grabber, which will make objects shaped irregularly quite easy. But even so, why not use a combined extension?

Well, for the beginning, most of the extension struggle only has four fingers, so they might not be reliable when trying to take complex items. In addition, the robber produced is often made of harder material that can scratch or damage fine objects. Profit -profit legs, on the contrary, are much smoother and less likely to cause damage – something that is also widespread to take or capture living specimens like insects – although from the point of view of the bug may prefer to see the metal claws he passed down.

It theorize that the same principle in manipulating the profit -died profit can extend to other animals, further adapting their hydraulic extremity control into new forms or other types of fine instruments. That assuming someone has a stomach to use it.
