The team at RMIT found that when you combine lattices in a structure similar to a deep-sea sponge, your material of choice can absorb more energy and handle more stress before deforming. Using the ...

A riotous photography collection from a recent underwater mission off the coast of Chile shows new and fascinating deep-sea ...

Inspired by the humble deep-sea sponge, RMIT University engineers have developed a new material with remarkable compressive strength and stiffness that could improve architectural and product designs.

Eunice siphoninsidiator, or the tube ambushing marine bristle worm, was discovered within the structure of glass sponges by a ...

Glass sponges are found along the deep sea, providing a hiding place for small critters along the seafloor. For one newly discovered species, glass sponges provide both a home and a hunting ground.
