A shark's skin is made up of thousands of armor-like scales, known as denticles. Their shape and alignment reduce drag, stop algal attachment and can even kill prey. But now humans are using that same ...
To build more aerodynamic machines, researchers are drawing inspiration from an unlikely source: the ocean. A team of evolutionary biologists and engineers at Harvard University, in collaboration with ...
Sharks have amazing skin. Instead of rounded scales like you would find on a trout, sharks have thousands of tiny tooth-like scales called dermal denticles, a fancy way of saying “skin teeth.” Like ...
A system proposed by world war two codebreaker Alan Turing more than 60 years ago can explain the patterning of tooth-like scales possessed by sharks, according to new research. A system proposed by ...
Scientists recently made news by using fossil shark scales to reconstruct shark communities from millions of years ago. At the same time, an international team of researchers led by UC Santa Barbara ...
