Segmented hinges in the long, thin bones of fish fins are critical to the incredible mechanical properties of fins, and this design could inspire improved underwater propulsion systems, new robotic ...

Fish fins are touch sensors, and they work in a way that’s similar to our fingertips. According to new findings published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the pectoral fins located behind the ...

Research on fossilized fish details the evolution of fins as they began to transition into limbs fit for walking on land. Research on fossilized fish from the late Devonian period, roughly 375 million ...

Researchers have developed a fish-like robot that shows how some species of modern fish are able to walk on land, and could ...

The human fingertip is a finely tuned sensory machine, and even slight touches convey a great deal of information about our physical environment. It turns out, some fish use their pectoral fins in ...

A few hundred million years ago, fish fins morphed into the arms and legs of terrestrial animals, according to evolutionary theory. So, you’d think science would know just about everything about them ...

Salmon is the most popular fin fish species, capturing nearly 40% of category sales. The fin fish category contributed 37.8% to seafood department dollar sales for the 52 weeks ended December 27, ...

New research finds some fishes' fins are as sensitive as the primates' fingertips, reports Carolyn Wilke of Science News. “We think about primates as kind of special in the sense that we have really ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Inside the stout fins of a fish that prowled the shallow waters of an estuary in what is now eastern Canada about 380 million years ago, scientists have found what they call the ...
