25、months studying the dragonflys flight, creating 3D models from digital images, to build a winged drone (无人机). Study leader Javaan Chahl believes that winged drones based on the dragonflys shape and movement will simply be more flexible and energy efficient.Chahls team used a special photography tech

26、nique to classify the wing shapes of 75 different dragonfly species from museum collections. Their wings are long, light and hard. Plus, their long bodies give them excellent stability and balance, making it possible for winged drones to deliver awkward loads and undertake long observation missions.

27、Investigating the way that dragonflies remain stable during flight actually reveals the techniques they use to get themselves out of tricky situations. Dragonflies are found to be able to perform upside-down backflips to regain balance and normal flight, when they find themselves upside down mid-air

28、. This special skill can even be performed while dragonflies are unconscious, meaning it is a passive stability mechanism similar in concept to planes that are designed to glide to safety with their engines turned off. Engineers are looking to copy dragonfly wings to create safer drones that can rig

29、ht themselves.Of course, not all attempts to build dragonfly-like drones are successful.

NASAs project is actually an air vehicle, rather than a winged drone, but engineers are s

35、e to future generations of historians trying to document, understand or reproduce the scent (气味) of slowly decaying (腐朽) books. Now, that task may have just gotten easier thanks to the Historic Book Odor Wheel.In one experiment, researchers asked visitors at the historic library to characterize the

36、scents they smelled. All the visitors selected words like “woody”, “smoky” and “earthy” from the list, and described the smells intensity and perceived pleasantness. In another experiment, the study authors presented visitors to the Birmingham Museum with eight smells one of which was an unlabeled h

37、istoric book scent and seven were non-bookish, such as coffee, chocolate, fish market and dirty clothes. The researchers then had those museumgoers describe the historic book smell. The top two responses? Chocolate and coffee. “You tend to use familiar associations to describe smells when they are u

38、nlabeled,” study author Cecilia Bembibre says.The team even analyzed the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the book and the library. Using the data from the chemical analysis and visitors smell descriptions, the researchers created the Historic Book Odor Wheel to document the “historic library sm

Main categories, such as “sweet/spicy”, fill the inner circle of the wheel; descriptors, such as “chocolate/cream”, fill the middle; and the chemical compounds likely to be the smelly source, like furfural, fill the outer circle.The researchers want the book odor wheel to be a tool that “untra

40、ined noses” can use to identify smells and the compounds causing them, which could address conservators concerns about material composition and historic paper conservation. And hopefully, smells of the past can be reproduced in the lab someday and museums and historians can use it to reconstruct a p
