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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Princeton University scientists have discovered that migrating dragonflies and songbirds exhibit many of the same behaviors, suggesting the rules that govern such long-distance travel may be simpler ...
