Pine cones are pretty smart for things with no brains, enough so that scientists have copied them to create a unique window shading system. The setup blocks sunlight in the summer and lets it ...
Scientists at the universities of Stuttgart and Freiburg have developed an amazing shading system for buildings that adjusts itself to the weather—just like pine cones. The new design ...
adaptive shading system that operates without electrical energy. The scientists used the movement mechanisms of pine cones as a model for the Solar Gate, which opens and closes in response to ...
a new shading system inspired by nature. Researchers at the Universities of Stuttgart and Freiburg looked to the natural world for inspiration, specifically the movements of pine cones.
adaptive shading system that operates without electrical energy. The scientists used the movement mechanisms of pine cones as a model for the "Solar Gate", which opens and closes in response to ...
Have you ever wondered how a pine cone knows when to open and close? It's not magic, it's science. Now, researchers have ...
The cone dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that result in dysfunction of the cone photoreceptors and sometimes their post-receptoral pathways. The major clinical ...
