These two components were mixed with oats and water and packed into a hexagonal mold with an elephant skin–inspired texture designed by bioSEA using computational modeling and algorithms to ...

"To withstand the heat, elephants evolved to develop a skin that is heavily wrinkled which increases water retention and cools the animal by evaporation. We were inspired by how an elephant could ...

Building on this proven insulating property, the NTU Singapore team worked with local ecology and biomimicry design firm bioSEA to add a bumpy, wrinkly texture to the tile, mimicking an elephant’s ...
