“Harvesting rice from the same field, without planting new rice plants? A discovery may bring this scenario closer. Leiden scientists have discovered a gene that allows annual plants to grow after flowering, instead of dying. Plants have growing points on their stems. These are groups of stem cells that can form […]
News, Deaf moths evolved noise-cancelling scales to evade predators
Some species of deaf moths can absorb as much as 85 percent of the incoming sound energy from predatory bats — who use echolocation to detect them. The findings reveal the moths, who are unable to hear the ultrasonic calls of bats, have evolved this clever defensive strategy to help it survive.
Biomimicry Global Design Challenge, Mult. Sponsors, Global
The Biomimicry Global Design Challenge is an annual competition that asks teams of students and professionals to address critical global issues with nature-inspired solutions. The challenge is hosted by the Biomimicry Institute. Challenge finalist teams are invited to join the Biomimicry Institute’s Launchpad for an opportunity to turn their ideas into […]
