"To withstand the heat, elephants evolved to develop a skin that is heavily wrinkled which increases water retention and cools the animal by evaporation. We were inspired by how an elephant could ...

Building on this proven insulating property, the NTU Singapore team worked with local ecology and biomimicry design firm bioSEA to add a bumpy, wrinkly texture to the tile, mimicking an elephant’s ...

Elephants do not have sweat glands and rely on these wrinkles and crevices on their skin to regulate heat. In laboratory experiments, the scientists found that the cooling rate of their elephant ...

Michael Jordan lives in the world of luxury. From exotic cars to multi-million dollar properties, there is no bigger NBA GOAT in terms of possessions. The 62-year-old former Charlotte Hornets ...

Elephants do not have sweat glands and rely on these wrinkles and crevices on their skin to regulate heat. In laboratory experiments, the scientists found that the cooling rate of their elephant ...

They designed the tile’s surface to mimic elephant skin, which is naturally structured with wrinkles and crevices to regulate heat. Laboratory tests revealed that the elephant skin–inspired ...

Addressing the 46th annual general meeting (AGM) of the National Academy of Sciences of Sri Lanka (NASSL) recently on the ‘Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC): Causes, consequences and way forward’, Prof.

But they also serve an important purpose: the crevices and the porous skin hold water and help keep the pachiderms cool by storing water and expelling heat via evaporation. Researchers have now turned ...

Building on this proven insulating property, the NTU Singapore team worked with local ecology and biomimicry design firm bioSEA to add a bumpy, wrinkly texture to the tile, mimicking an elephant's ...

They added a wrinkled texture that copies elephant skin, which helps elephants stay cool by holding water and allowing it to slowly evaporate. This design also traps cool air and increases the ...
