Abstract Inception of obduction is a rare phenomenon in the Wilson cycle and requires specific prerequisites to transfer relatively high‐density oceanic lithosphere over the less‐dense continental lithosphere. The world's famous Semail ophiolite belt developed during the Late Cretaceous, when Neo‐Tethyan oceanic lithosphere obducted onto the rifted ...

Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%
Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...
