The reason rose petals curl and give the bloom its beautiful looks has been uncovered by scientists.
They say its all down the petals geometry and could have applications in the real world.
A team at Israel’s Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that as the petal grows, stress builds at the edges, shaping the curves recognised around the world.
The discovery uncovered the geometric origin of the shape of rose petals.
It also helps understand how complex forms emerge in nature and how to harness the same principles to design advanced materials that shape themselves with similar elegance and precision.
The study reveals that the signature cusp-like edges of rose petals are the result of a unique kind of geometric principle not previously recognised by scientists.

Do fingers in water always wrinkle the same way

Picture MUST credit: Guy German / Binghamton University
A scientist who discovered why fingertips wrinkle in water has now found out they always do it in the same pattern.
Two years ago Professor Guy German published research about why human skin wrinkles when a person stays in the water too long.
It was believed water swelled your skin but little to no research had been done to prove that.
Prof German and a team at Binghamton University, New York State found that blood vessels beneath the skin contract after prolonged immersion, and that’s where the wrinkles come from.
But then later a student asked if the wrinkles always form in the same pattern every time you're in the water for too long.
To find out the team used volunteers and subjected their fingers to immersion in water for 30 minutes and took photos of the skin changes.
The team then repeated the process 24 hours later and found the same patterns of raised loops and ridges after both immersions.
They also discovered that wrinkles don’t form in people who have median nerve damage in their fingers most commonly caused by carpal tunnel.
German said “Blood vessels don’t change their position much — they move around a bit, but in relation to other blood vessels, they’re pretty static.
“That means the wrinkles should form in the same manner, and we proved that they do.”
OPS: Identical wrinkles pairs established and numbered on a subject's ring finger 24 hours apart after submerging in water for 30 minutes.

The world’s first wearable device for measuring skin health including monitoring wounds, has been developed by researchers.
It analyses gases emitted and absorbed by the body’s largest organ.
The compact device is said to be able to also detect infections, track hydration levels, quantifying exposure to harmful environmental chemicals and more.
The new technology comprises a collection of sensors that precisely measure changes in temperature, water vapour, carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds , which each give valuable insight into various skin conditions and overall health.
These gases flow into a small chamber within the device that hovers above the skin without actually touching it.
This no-contact design is particularly useful for gathering information about fragile skin without disturbing delicate tissues.
It could be especially useful in dealing with diabetic patients according to the team from the USA’s Northwestern University in Illinois.

Picture MUST credit: University of Sydney
A new study has shed light on the way lip size influences perceptions of facial attractiveness.
And although women may think plumper ones are a magnet for the opposite sex, men actually prefer thinner ones.
The highest ratings were for men with thinner lips and women with plumper lips.
The study used digitally manipulated images to alter lip size on both male- and female faces and asked participants to rate their attractiveness.
Women showed a stronger preference for plumper lips when viewing images of female faces, while men preferred female faces with unaltered lips.
This suggests that attractiveness judgments are shaped by the observer's own gender.
For the experiment 16 female and 16 male volunteers were shown 168 faces, representing seven lip sizes with lips thinner or plumper than the norm.
They were then given 1.25 seconds to register how relatively attractive they found each image.
The general results showed participants thought slightly plumper lips were more attractive on the female face and slightly thinner lips more attractive on a male face.
But by gender, men preferred a female face with a natural lip size image, with women preferring plumper lips.
Interestingly, the study found that showing the lips alone, without the whole face, also produced shifts in attractiveness ratings, suggesting that lip size is encoded by the brain as a distinct feature, separate from the overall facial structure.
The Australian study was carried out by a team from the University of Sydney .
OPS:Morphed images used in the experiment. Subjects were shown a series of images and given 1.25 seconds to respond and rate according to subjective assessment of attractiveness.

The logic behind how people walk in crowds has been discovered by mathematicians.
Called “angular spread,” it describes the number of people walking in different directions — and they reckon it is 13 degrees.
If a crowd has a relatively small angular spread, this means that most pedestrians walk in opposite directions and meet the oncoming traffic head-on, such as in a crosswalk.
In this case, more orderly, lane-like traffic is likely.
If a crowd has a larger angular spread, such as on a shopping centre concourse, there are many more directions pedestrians can take resulting in a greater chance for disorder.
In fact, the researchers calculated the point at which a moving crowd can transition from order to disorder.
That point, they found, was an angular spread of around 13 degrees.
That means if pedestrians don’t walk straight across, but instead veer off at an angle larger than 13 degrees, a crowd can be tipped into disorder.
The team plans to test their predictions on real-world crowds and pedestrian thoroughfares.
OPS: An experiment carried out in a gymnasium , film from overhead, with volunteers. The orderly passing of two groups of people (left) contrasts with the diisorderly when the angular spread of people exceeded 13 degrees.
