Asymmetric-bifurcation snapping, all-or-none motion of Venus flytrap by Xiangli Zeng, Yingzhe Wang, Keisuke Morishima

“…To understand the mechanism underlying this asymmetrically reversible motion, a three-dimensional laser profiler was used to measure both static morphological information and dynamic movements (500 frames per second) of the Venus flytrap, including its rapid closure and slow re-opening. The mean-curvature differences between the open and closed lobes were recorded and used for morphology and energy evaluations. …”

Herrera complexity and shadows of spherically symmetric compact objects by Subhasis Nalui, Subhra Bhattacharya

“…In this context we explore how complexity of compact objects (a fundamentally theoretical classification) is connected to the photon ring (an astrophysical observable in the universe) and its stability. We consider zero complexity systems and discuss its significance with respect to (wrt) formation of photon rings and hence shadows.…”
