Seagull poop. While most land-based people might dismiss such a thing as a trivial annoyance, for those who work out at sea, on locations like offshore wind substations, it’s significantly worse ...

In fact, a new study suggests that for small-scale units, copying seagull wings may be the way to go. "Blades designed for large wind turbines usually don't have good aerodynamic efficiency when ...

Scientists show a bionic approach combining features of a seagull's wing with an engineered flow control accessory, known as a Gurney flap, can greatly improve wind turbine performance.
