Be Square, Seahorse; It has Mechanical Advantages (8 of 10)

image: Pictures of two 3-D-printed prototypes that mimic the natural (square prism) and hypothetical (cylindrical) structures of a seahorse tail skeleton. Notice the unusual articulating joints that provide the prototypes several internal degrees of freedom to bend and twist. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the July 3, 2015 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by Jean-Louis Magnard at the Université de Lyon in Saint-Etienne, France, and colleagues was titled, 'Biosynthesis of monoterpene scent compounds in roses.' view more
