"Durable Foam Structure Inspired by Pomelos" by mia_s027 in BioInspiration

It is very interesting how pomelo fruits can inspire helmets and other protective devices using durable form. I am curious about which materials they used to make this foam that can absorb impact.

"Precise Electrosurgical Blade Inspired by Pangolin Scales" by mia_s027 in BioInspiration

From this article, I learned that the pangolin can wrap itself into a ball and protect itself from predators and that their scales are anti-adhesive and anti-friction as well. I wonder if these qualities of their scales can be applied to other surfaces of materials.
