A straight line may be the shortest path from A to B, but it's not always the most reliable or efficient way to go. In fact, depending on what's traveling where, the best route may run in circles, ...

Nature is a great architect, and the vascular network – or veins – of a leaf are key to its structure. Mathematical physicists at Rockefeller University use fluorescent dye and time lapse photography ...

Tree branches have inspired efficient transit networks, but a new study finds inspiration in leaves. The curvy, connected leaf veins found in some plants are an efficient way to circumvent damaged ...

You might assume that a leaf's vein patterns fork, like tree branches splitting into twigs as they get further from the trunk. But peer carefully and you'll see that the veins make innumerable closed ...

XPPen Artist 12 Gen3 addresses the category’s core pain point - "professional devices can’t be portable, while portable devices are not Pro enough". The overall performance surpasses that of most ...

There have been many, many discoveries that promise longer battery life, but one of the latest is rare in taking its inspiration from one of the most common structures in nature: the leaf vein.

Biology may hold the clues to better batteries. An international team of scientists designed a porous material inspired by the vascular structure of leaves that could make energy transfers more ...
