In fact, people have to learn, a lot comes from the nature of science and technology. BioMimetic special talent development using the principles of biological structure and function to machinery or technology subject is Biomimetics. Let's take a look at ten interesting studies of bionics in recent years.
Commonly known as the water cube National Aquatic Center is the host of 2008 Olympic Games swimming events, which look like a giant blue box, the walls are covered with irregular bubble. Bubbles the size and configuration of this layer doesn't seem to rule, is designed to reference cells, molecular structure, such as precise geometry of nature are very common.
Singapore Esplanade also known as the "Durian Art Center", its appearance resembles the King of Southeast Asia is rich in fruits – Durian. Creative source of the building is not the durian, but the compound eye of insects. Esplanade of outer wall made up of thousands of pieces of triangle-shaped glass visors, can change the direction of the Sun to ensure natural light in the room was just right.
Based on the spiral structure of the calla lily flower, Pax Scientific, a company has developed a new set of industrial fluid mixing technology, requiring only light 3 100-watt bulb power, can be used to cycle about 10 million gallons of water. Ends explosion predator details China s latest
Unlike most whales on the flippers of humpback whales have some protruding nodules. Humpback whales swim, these nodules will provide more buoyancy, when rotating flippers, these nodules can also reduce its water resistance. So the flippers of humpback whales became the main direction of fluid dynamics, many technology companies are developing with nodules leaves, made more efficient marine rudders, hydraulic turbines, windmills and helicopter rotors.
Shark skin surface has hundreds of folds, these skin-folds are called teeth, can significantly reduce water resistance, sharks can swim more quickly and more effectively. The 2008 Olympic Games, swimmer Michael Phelps (Michael Phelps) dressed in sharkskin suits too eight gold medals, also broke a number of world records, many swimmers will wear this bathing suit.
The body through metabolism to produce energy, and when a person consumes carbohydrates or sugar time, enzymes break down glucose in the body, energy is released. Scientists hope now developed is based on the principle of biological cells. Many companies, including Sony, as well as researchers from the University of the bio battery as an important issue, Sony in 2007 was actually developed a new bio-cell, using wood cellulose enzyme in the paper's cellulose into glucose, eventually producing electricity that can power a Sony Walkman.
Strength and toughness of spider silk is a very strong material, has broad applications in many fields. But spider silk is mainly from the spiders turned to the Internet, itself yields low, spider has gay personalities of cannibalism, not high density farming. In addition, the spinning process of spider silk also available to its ambition. Bolt Threads, a start-up company in California recently passed resolution spider DNA to produce an artificial spider silk, now the technology is ultimately proven, it is likely to be used in the construction of better and more lightweight bullet-proof vests, or pulling more slings.
Gecko is the only vertebrate that can climb on a vertical surface, its secrets from the claws on the bristles. These setae to increase scope of paw contact with the plane, between the toes and tiny suction. A group of researchers at Stanford University based on this principle, developed a special viscous material, a test successfully, use gloves made of this material in a vertical climb on the walls of glass.
