In nature, many plants have evolved diverse flight mechanisms to disperse seeds by wind
and propagate their genetic information. Inspired by the flight mechanism of the dandelion …

Motile plant tissues can control their configurations and regulate their motion speed
according to their specific requirements, which offer various protypes for biomimetic …

Recent observations of wingless animals, including jumping nematodes, springtails, insects,
and wingless vertebrates like geckos, snakes, and salamanders, have shown that their …

Using wind to disperse microfliers that fall like seeds and leaves can help automate large-
scale sensor deployments. Here, we present battery-free microfliers that can change shape …

With the development of bionics as well as materials science, intelligent soft actuators have
shown promising applications in many fields such as soft robotics, sensing, and remote …

Living structures constantly interact with the biotic and abiotic environment by sensing and
responding via specialized functional parts. In other words, biological bodies embody highly …

Plant leaves, whose remarkable ability for morphogenesis results in a wide range of petal
and leaf shapes in response to environmental cues, have inspired scientific studies as well …

Dandelion seeds possess a complex three-dimensional structure and a self-adapted flying
ability. To understand this fascinating flight mechanism, a three-dimensional umbrella …

Asteraceae represent one of the largest and most diverse families of plants. The
evolutionary success of this family has largely been contributed to their unique …

Plants are often used to illustrate allergy-related medical products, services, patient
information materials and news. The illustration of allergenic plants is an important tool in …
