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 ...
UCLA life scientists have discovered new laws that determine the construction of leaf vein systems as leaves grow and evolve. These easy-to-apply mathematical rules can now be used to better predict ...
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 ...
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, ...
A recent breakthrough in photothermal actuator design has been achieved by a research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Prof. TIAN Xingyou ...
Background and aims It has been proposed that modification of leaf size, driven by epidermal cell size, balances leaf water supply (determined by veins) with transpirational demand (generated by ...
Zhu Yuyao makes leaf vein picture at home in Handan, north China's Hebei Province, Dec. 11, 2019. Leaf vein picture is an intangible cultural heritage in Handan City. (Xinhua/Wang Xiao) Zhu Yuyao ...
Life scientists have discovered new laws leaves follow as they grow and evolve. These easy-to-apply mathematical rules can be used to better predict the climates of the past, as determined from the ...
