A group of researchers from the University of London found that the micro-structure finlets on an owl’s feathers can help reduce aircraft noise. With the flow simulation of these finlets, the study shows how they act as thin guide vanes to reduce vortices and drag. Thus having […]
A group of German researchers had developed a new type of cement inspired by the nanostructure of sea urchin spines. These spines are incredibly durable due to the crystalline blocks of calcite are covered by a layer of calcium carbonate. This layer serves as a dampening defense to an impact force. […]
If you have driven down a dark road, you have often seen glimpses of bright flashes in the middle of the street. These light reflectors or cat’s eyes are used in road marking to allow drivers to safely drive within their lane. English […]
