Researchers have discovered how plants set the angles of their branches relative to gravity. While the other principle features governing the architecture of plants such as the control of the number ...

They are the largest fish species in the ocean, but the majestic gliding motion of the whale shark is, scientists argue, an astonishing feat of mathematics and energy conservation. Marine scientists ...

Abstract: We introduce an improved approach, called FCVC, that finds accurate matches from two related images of indoor environments by matching corresponding vertical cylinders of features, then ...

Thin-liquid films flowing down vertical strings undergo instability, creating wavy film profiles and traveling beads. Previous studies assumed that the liquid film thickness and velocity profiles ...
