The MAPWORMS project made waves by landing the cover picture spot on the esteemed Facebook group “Oceanitalians“!
Oceanitalians is a vibrant community of Italian scientists diving deep into the world of marine science. We’re honored to connect with fellow experts who share our passion for exploring the mysteries of the ocean.
Our cover picture showcases one of the fascinating model species chosen by CoNISMa: the Pterocirrus macroceros. This elegant worm holds secrets within its shockingly long pharynx, sparking inspiration for our future projects. We’re delving into the realm of bioinspiration, exploring how nature’s designs can inform the development of innovative soft robots.
