Voronoi Patterns in Nature (a) Everyday-Life Applications. (b) Switching Thresholds for Gold/Silver Holdings

  The patterns on a Giraffe’s body, Dragonfly’s wing, dried mud, Tortoise shell, Bee Hive honeycomb structure and many other objects in Nature are generated by an algorithm to create Voronoi maps- named after Georgy Voronoy who discovered and write about such patterns.   Why did Nature create Voronoi patterns? Efficient use of space:  The pattern is ideal for maximizing the contents of a limited space, as seen in the construction of bee hives or cellular structures in muscles. Structural strength:  It provides a lightweight yet strong design, with properties that can be optimized for specific needs, such as impact absorption in biomimetic components. Optimal resource/function distribution:  The pattern helps organize and distribute resources or functions evenly.
