Squids are known for their advanced nervous system, exceptional problem-solving skills, and complex behaviours like camouflage and jet propulsion.

This included integrating fluid reservoirs, jet actuation systems, and power sources while ensuring biocompatibility.” Triggering the propulsion mechanism at the right time was another challenge.

The solution Inspired by the jet-propulsion mechanisms of cephalopods 4 such as squid and cuttlefish (such as Sepia officinalis), we developed a family of microjet delivery systems.

Using jet propulsion inspired by squid, researchers demonstrate a microjet system that delivers medications directly into tissues, matching the effectiveness of traditional needles.
