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 ...

Palakkad (Kerala), Apr 6 (PTI) A man was killed in a wild elephant attack in Mundoor, in this district, on Sunday night, police said. Alan (25), a resident of Kayaramkodu, was trampled to death by the ...

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 ...

In laboratory experiments, the scientists found that the cooling rate of their elephant skin-inspired mycelium tile was 25 per cent better than a fully flat mycelium tile, and the heating rate was 2 ...

"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Building on this proven insulating property, the scientists added a bumpy, wrinkly texture to the tile, mimicking an elephant's ability to regulate heat from its skin. Elephants do not have sweat ...

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 ...
