    Tiles made from fungi’ could one day be used to cool down buildings without consuming energy — inspired by elephants.

    The tiles are made from mycelium , the root network of fungi, in this case of the oyster mushroom, along bamboo shavings.

    Earlier research has shown that mycelium-bound composites are more energy efficient than conventional building insulation materials.

    Building on this proven insulating property, scientists at Nanyang Technological University
    in Singapore added a bumpy, wrinkly texture to the tile.

    It mimics the skin of an elephant because the animal has the ability to regulate heat from its skin.

    Elephants do not have sweat glands and rely on these wrinkles and crevices on their skin to regulate heat.

    Lab experiments have proven the tile’s ability to regulate heat effectively.

    Following this proof of concept, the scientists will now scale up production of these tiles and test them on building facades. 

    The scientists found that the cooling rate of their elephant skin-inspired mycelium tile was 25 per cent better than a fully flat mycelium tile, and the heating rate two per cent lower.

    They also found that the elephant skin-inspired tile’s cooling effect improved a further 70 per cent in simulated rain conditions, making it suitable for tropical climates.

    Indian elephant struck by train dies in jungle
    December 31, 2024 - Agartala,Tripura, India: Forest officials pay last respects to the dead elephant. A male elephant died in the jungle near Khowai district after it was hit by a speeding train, some 70 km far from Agartala. A 48-hours long battle for life came to an end tonight after the veterinary doctors assigned to monitor the health condition of the ailing wild jumbo confirmed his death. The male elephant endured extreme pain for two days after being hit by a train which had apparently violated the speed limit fixed for the state’s biggest elephant corridor in the Khowai district of Tripura. The forest department engaged a team of four doctors including a specialist from Sepahijala wildlife sanctuary for the postmortem examination which ended on Tuesday evening. The department with the help of local volunteers also arranged a special ritual to bid farewell to the wild tusker. The process of burial started in the evening. The age of the elephant was 35 years, and it was painted by holly vermilion, as forest guards observed a ritual praying for the soul of the elephant, ao that it may be in a better place.

    Tall Stories celebrates David McKee’s classic character with the world theatre premiere of The Elmer Adventure

    Elmer is not elephant colour, Elmer is patchwork

    Celebrating Elmer’s 35th anniversary, Tall Stories brings this amazing patchwork elephant to life in an exciting world premiere of their latest theatrical extravaganza with songs, storytelling and puppetry.

    Elmer was created by David McKee and first published by Andersen Press in 1989, with 30 picture books in the series, and more novelty titles Elmer has since gone on to sell over 10 million copies in over 60 languages. In the original classic book, Elmer realises that it is his differences that make him who he truly is, and are what his friends love about him.
