Revealed: how Venus flytraps snap shut with astonishing speed

Researchers discovered Venus flytraps close in <0.1 seconds when outer epidermal cells soften suddenly, releasing mechanical strain (Science 2026). The mechanism could inspire soft robotics systems where materials change stiffness dynamically to enable rapid, adaptive motion.
