Understanding why rose petals curl: How stress, geometry, and biology shape their elegant forms
Rose petals' unique shapes come from stress during growth. Differential growth and mechanical stresses create curled edges. Research shows petals violate a mathematical condition, causing stress.
Abstract: In this work, we present a comparative study on the influence of the geometric shape of plastic optical fiber (POF) sensors in their response to refractive index (RI) of external media.
Abstract: An important challenge that affects ultrasonic mid-air haptics, in contrast to physical touch, is that we lose certain exploratory procedures such as contour following. This makes the task ...
Gone are the days when buildings were just four walls. In Malaysia’s bustling property market, developers fight tooth and nail on design, cost and branding. This underscores that a building’s shape is ...
A strange kind of geometry governs how particles move inside matter. Now, for the first time, physicists have uncovered its full shape – and it could transform how we design materials ...
