Wing Coupling in Bees and Wasps: From the Underlying Science to Bioinspired Engineering (Adv. Sci. 16/2021)

Bioinspired Engineering In article number 2004383, Hamed Rajabi and co‐workers investigate the wing‐to‐wing coupling of nine castes and species of bees and wasps. They showed that the diverse morphologies of the coupling mechanisms in the examined insects can be linked to forces to which the couplings are subjected. The researchers design and fabricate multi‐degreeof‐freedom bee‐inspired joints that can be used in everyday life applications, for example in cartridge razors. [Image: see text]
