Previous studies of pediatric vertebrae and rib morphology use varying measurement techniques to collect geometric dimensions from nonhomogeneous samples and few of these studies evaluate growth or ...

How does the armored tiling on shark and ray cartilage maintain a continuous covering as the animals' skeletons expand during growth? This is a question that has perplexed Professor Mason Dean, a ...

The growth of rose petals exploits a geometric trick previously unobserved in nature, physicists have found. Using theoretical analysis, computer simulations and experiments with rubbery plastic ...
