Researchers are flying the idea that insect wings could act as a model for making self-cleaning, frictionless, and superhydrophobic materials. Researchers in Australia and the UK are flying the idea ...
Researchers have developed a model that can recreate, with only a few parameters, the wing patterns of a large group of insects, shedding light on how these complex patterns form. For many species of ...
Anew developmental model recreates the vein patterns of insect wings, reported in PNAS on September 17. While previous studies have focused on analyzing primary veins that are largely shared across a ...
