Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from the University of Granada, Spain, have determined the most efficient ways to ...

Skoltech researchers and their colleague from the University of Granada, Spain, have determined which ways to reinforce vaults and domes in architecture are more efficient. The team compared how well ...

Harvard researchers have developed a computational model that can mimic, with only a few, simple parameters, the complex wing patterns of a large group of distantly-related insects, shedding light on ...

Scientists from Hiroshima University undertook a study of dragonfly wings in order to better understand the relationship between a corrugated wing structure and vortex motions. They discovered that ...

The dainty veins gracing the wings of dragonflies and other insects are like fingerprints: Each wing displays a distinct pattern. A randomized mathematical process may help explain how certain thin ...
