Elucidating Collapse-Resistant Mechanisms of Pore Geometries in Fire Ant Nest Cavities

Elucidating Collapse-Resistant Mechanisms of Pore Geometries in Fire Ant Nest Cavities

Porous materials and structures, such as subterranean fire ant nests, are abundant in nature. It is hypothesized that these structures likely have evolved biological adaptations that enhance their collapse resistance. This research aims to elucidate the collapse-resistant mechanisms of pore geometri...
