Image cropping is an essential task in many contexts, right from social media and e-commerce to advanced computer vision applications. Cropping helps maintain image quality by avoiding unnecessary resizing, which can degrade the image and consume computational resources. It is also useful when an image needs to conform to a predetermined aspect ratio, such as in thumbnails.Image cropping is an essential task in many contexts, right from social media and e-commerce to advanced computer vision applications.

An analysis of how rhinoceros beetles deploy and retract their hindwings shows that the process is passive, requiring no muscular activity. The findings, reported in Nature, could help improve the design of flying micromachines.An analysis of how rhinoceros beetles deploy and retract their hindwings shows that the process is passive, requiring no muscular activity.
