THE way a dragonfly remains stable in flight is being mimicked to develop micro wind turbines that can withstand gale-force winds. Micro wind turbines have to work well in light winds but must avoid ...

The general focus on improving air travel usually involves faster, safer, lighter, and more fuel-efficient aircraft. But another safety concern is disease transmission because the airtight flying ...

In technological innovation, nature can serve as pure inspiration. Today’s lead story delves deep into how scientists are working to understand the biomechanics of dragonfly wings to create fully ...

Scientists undertook a study of dragonfly wings in order to better understand the relationship between a corrugated wing structure and vortex motions. They discovered that corrugated wings exhibit ...

One of the most striking features of dragonflies is their wings. Unlike most insects that flap their wings in unison, dragonflies have two pairs of wings that they can move either together or ...

In the pursuit of higher energy density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), researchers are constantly exploring innovative solutions to enhance the performance of SiOx-based anodes. A recent article ...
