Researchers ‘zoom’ in for an ultra-magnified peek at shark skin What gives shark skin its toughness and sleek glide? Tiny, tooth-like scales called dermal denticles. Made of the same material as teeth, these structures protect sharks and reduce drag—especially crucial during mating. To uncover how denticles change with age and between sexes, researchers used high-powered electron microscopy on bonnethead sharks. The ultra-detailed images revealed striking variations in denticle shape and size across life stages and body regions. The findings offer a rare glimpse into how shark skin evolves as both armor and adaptation.

Trans girl wearing shiny black hirogato brand catsuit, sitting on a bed with her face out of frame, only shows from upper thigh to neck, she is grabbing her right breast

Idk how my catsuit got so dirty I wore it like twice 😭😭😭 but here's my favorite (out of two lol) hirogato catsuits I have 🖤 #hirogato #tgirl #spandex #sharkskin #shiny

Testing out my #sharkskin wetsuit as a onesie around the house cause it’s 14 degrees at midday and I can’t get warm with this virus.
…this isn’t actually the worst idea.
Titanium nano technology for the win!

‘Shark Skin’ Coating for Airliners May Cut Fuel Use by 4% – Delta is Testing on its 767 Fleet An Australian aviation startup has developed an adhesive film inspired by shark skin that reduces drag on aircraft due to its sandpaper-like texture. Sharks are covered in tiny dermal grooves, often called riblets, which help a shark swim faster using less energy. When such microscopic grooves are applied via adhesive film to the exterior of […] The post ‘Shark Skin’ Coating for Airliners May Cut Fuel Use by 4% – Delta is Testing on its 767 Fleet appeared first on Good News Network.

If you are interested in shark skin, fish robotics (3 talks), fish schooling (3 talks), fish finlets, and even stickleback parasites, check out the talks upcoming at the virtual #SICB2021 meetings from the @georgelauder lab and collaborators. #fishsci #sharkskin @SICB_DCB_DVM

It’s about “missing” denticles for #SharkScaleSaturday. Leopard sharks have relatively few missing but the anal fin surface and the caudal trailing edges reveal some gaps. Images are 3D GelSight images (shown as b&w in 2D). #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

For #SharkScaleSaturday, a shark scale contribution to recent talk on academic Twitter about low-word-count posters! Here’s an effort from our lab with undergrad first author Madeline … published paper at https://bit.ly/2LLQeRs #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

Something different for #SharkScaleSaturday today: top and side views of an airfoil completely covered with 3D-printed shark denticles! (see https://bit.ly/2Xh1Vqv Denticles increase lift as well as reduce drag. #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

Shark tail denticles vary considerably in size and shape from leading to trailing edge. For #SharkScaleSaturday, surface profilometry images comparing denticle shapes on three thresher shark tail regions. Missing denticles are normal! #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

So many denticles, so little time! Continuing the theme of shark denticle diversity for #SharkScaleSaturday this week, comparison of gulper shark nose tip denticles (left), and mid-lateral body denticles on a leopard shark (right) #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

More on competition swimsuits compared to shark skin for #SharkScaleSaturday! An image of the BlueSeventy suit (smoother than a thresher shark tail), and a table comparing shark mid-tail roughness with three suits. #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience #swimming

Shark scales/denticles are amazingly diverse, in both size and shape! For #SharkScaleSaturday this week, a comparison of denticles from three species shown at the same size: gulper shark, white shark, and smooth dogfish. #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

Is shark skin anti-fouling? I think not, but others disagree! If samples are not ”overprepared” surface scum and even bacteria are visible on mako denticles. @MarianneEPorter and @hannahherbst07 are working on this too! #SharkScaleSaturday #fishsci #sharkskin #SharkScience

Silky sharks (Carcharhinus falciformis) feel very smooth, but they have typical closely-packed denticles and surface roughness for a pelagic shark. For #SharkScaleSaturday, midlateral body denticles from a silky shark (6.7 by 8.1 mm). #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

Back to #SharkScaleSaturday after vacation to look inside the denticle of a chain catshark! Cracking open a denticle reveals a very large pulp cavity with remarkable fibrous plywood-like dentine fibers (L to R, 1.2 mm to 15 um wide) . #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

I'm very happy to announce the successful Ph.D. thesis defense today by Dylan Wainwright! Such a great thesis (with 4 chapters already published) on fish skin structure, diversity, and function. 11 publications during his graduate career! #fishsci #sharkskin #tuna #locomotion

Many congratulations to senior undergrad (and competitive swimmer extraordinaire) Meagan Popp, with her able assistant grad student Dylan Wainwright, on her Senior Thesis and poster presentation on thresher shark tail denticle structure. #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

In most sharks, denticle shape changes gradually around the body. At this location in chain catsharks there is dramatic change within just 3 denticles! Rounded to spiky with sharp ridges. Image is 0.8 mm wide. #SharkScaleSaturday #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

It’s a new denticle for #SharkScaleSaturday, erupting through the epidermis in Scyliorhinus canicula. Denticles at this location are smooth with low ridges. Looks like a tooth because … it basically is! Image is 0.6 mm wide. #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

It’s a single large (0.43 mm) denticle for #SharkScaleSaturday! From the small spotted cat shark Scyliorhinus canicula. Beautiful sculpting at the denticle base, and converging ridges to the posterior tip. More to come in future tweets! #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

For #SharkScaleSaturday, it’s porbeagle (Lamna nasus) time! Image is of skin on the lateral head surface behind the gills. Each denticle has relatively large ridges (note the few “missing” denticles that are being replaced). #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

High res (0.3 um) uCT scan of thresher shark tail denticles for #SharkScaleSaturday shows a regenerating denticle that never makes it to the surface, but has fully developed ridges. New and developing denticles have large pulp cavities #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience

It’s #SharkScaleSaturday! Denticles around the opening to a mako lateral line canal pore. Note how the denticles spiral in, become smoother and more pointed. How does this pattern affect water flow around the opening … we don’t know! #fishsci #sharkskin #sharks #SharkScience
