Hello Everyone!
I just want to share my knowledge with ants. We came upon the subject of forces and weight lifting as mechanical engineering students. One of my professors asked as to why ants are so powerful that they can lift objects that are heavier than they are. Were you curious as well how it works?
We couldn't all answer that question at the moment, so our professor explained how it works.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERS are astounded by an ant's ability to lift weights several times its own body weight. Engineers from several countries used computer models to reverse engineer elements of the ant's anatomy, physical qualities, and mechanical processes in order to better grasp this ability. The models were made using X-ray cross-sectional pictures (micro CT scans) and simulations of the forces generated by an ant while carrying loads.
The ant's neck, which bears the full weight of the weights gripped in its mouth, is an important feature of its structure. Soft tissues of the ant's neck link with the hard exoskeleton of its thorax (body) and head in a way that resembles how fingers in folded hands interlock. One of the researchers states, "The design and structure of this interface is crucial for the performance of the neck joint." The unusual interaction between hard and soft materials certainly strengthens adhesion and may be a crucial structural design feature that allows the neck joint to withstand such a high load capacity. Researchers anticipate that gaining a better understanding of how the ant's neck works may aid in the development of man-made robotic devices.
What are your thoughts on the subject? Did the ant's neck evolve, with its intricate and intertwined mechanical systems? Was it planned, or did it happen? If you have more information, please don't forget to comment.

Thank you again
You're welcome @breakn3ck, that's well deserved! Have a nice weekend.
Hala uy, ka bese bas mga scientific research , mag pressure man pod mis among nx post ani
Hahaha mag sugod natag check sa dictionary ani ug thesaurus 😂
Haha internet nlang maam para dali
Hahaha amaw!!
Haha gemma2 rana uy. ayaw lang ka pressure. haha mura raman gani ug wala si @prettyunicorn. 😂
lahi ra, from eating them insects to studying them and their anatomy! Next level!
Katawaa nko uy. haha at least mag study sad ta panagsa kay para dli maapil ang tinae ig kaon 🤣
hahahahhaha. Unsai sunod nmo insect studyhan? Pwd murequest? Ok-ok na sd? nganung feeling butterfly na cla? Paki.explain! hahahahahaha
haha grabiha sa request uy ok-ok man gyud. Dli pwede laen lang? kana sad dli hugawan 🤣
Cge, kuto na lng.
Nag kalisud man ang request ug samot 🤣
This is a fantastic shot! Wow!
Thank you
Hahaha I’m also curious about this and now I knew it. Murag ma pressure najud kos akoang next i post ani ba. hahahahaha. Sunod ani nga post kay mga scientific elements napod ni @breakn3ck 😂😀❤️
Haha ayaw ka pressure bb. Dugay paman sad kaayo ka mag post @explorewithsasha 😎 haha
Hahaahha ayaw dapat with pressure nani ron hahah charrooot 😂
Sunod kay video. Imo erecite ang tibuok periodic table with symbols
