A shark's bite may kill prey, but it's the teeth covering its body that make the fish such a good hunter, new research suggests. Sharks are covered in flexible scales—nearly invisible to the human eye ...
A shark's skin is made up of thousands of armor-like scales, known as denticles. Their shape and alignment reduce drag, stop algal attachment and can even kill prey. But now humans are using that same ...
Scientists recently made news by using fossil shark scales to reconstruct shark communities from millions of years ago. At the same time, an international team of researchers led by UC Santa Barbara ...

Laboratory experiments suggest the tooth-like scales of the puffadder shyshark can be degraded by acidifying oceans Graeme Kruger / flickr (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) Shark skin is seriously tough. Blanketing ...
Razor-sharp scales on their skin seem to make it easier for sharks to race through the water, by generating whirlpools that help pull them along, researchers say. This research eventually could lead ...
Capable of swimming at speeds of up to 74 km/h (46 mph), the shortfin mako is the world's fastest species of shark. Scientists now have a new understanding of how it's able to reach such speeds, and ...
