Bioinspired whisker arrays can work as antennae to detect sources of flow disturbances under water or in the air - Science Daily

New research could form the basis of aviation innovation. Artificial whiskers, built as models of whiskers from sea lions, can work as an array of antennae to locate the source of hydrodynamic wakes, similar to the way sea lions use their whiskers.

A recent research study conducted by City, University of London's Professor Christoph Bruecker and his team has demonstrated that artificial whiskers, built as models of whiskers from sea lions, can … [+1595 chars]
