SYDNEY (Reuters) - Inspired by the natural, twisting patterns of a lobster shell, Australian researchers say they have found a way, using 3D printing technology, to improve the strength of concrete ...

Scientists in Australia are turning to the sea to find inspiration. They believe the intricate design of lobster shells can help them create stronger forms of concrete.

The simple zigzag pattern, found on a fossilised shell from the Indonesian island of Java, has been dated to at least 430,000 years. The find, reported in the journal Nature on Thursday, predates by ...

Scientists have identified a group of genes that control the formation of shapes and color patterns on the shell of the tropical marine mollusk referred to as "abalone." A study published in the open ...
