3D model of the ancestral flower reconstructed by the new study, showing multiple whorls of petal-like organs, in sets of threes. All living flowers ultimately derive from a single ancestor that lived ...

A unique flower-shaped tool has been developed to study neural networks and neurological diseases. Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne researchers have developed this neural activity device ...

"Each of these plant species has adapted to pollination by either bees, birds, bats or rodents," says Dellinger. Using High-Resolution X-ray computed tomography, the research team produced 3D-models ...
