NASA built a claw that grips without squeezing đ€

Grabbing something in space isnât as easy as closing your hand.
In low or zero gravity, pushing on an object just sends you drifting away. So NASA built a robotic claw that doesnât rely on pressure at all.
Instead, it uses hundreds of tiny flexible microspines. Each one hooks into microscopic surface imperfections, gripping rough rocks the same way a climberâs shoe grips a wall.
The result is a stable hold without squeezing, perfect for asteroid sampling, space robotics, and future planetary exploration.
Sometimes the smartest solutions donât use more force.
They use better physics.
