Copying nature is like tapping into the ultimate design library for engineers. Take birds, for instance – their wing structures inspired the creation of more efficient aircraft wings. Engineers look at the intricate patterns of leaves and apply those designs to create better solar panels, maximizing energy absorption. The strength and flexibility of spider silk? That's a blueprint for creating super-strong synthetic materials. Velcro? It's like a high-tech version of those burrs that stick to your clothes during a nature hike. By mimicking nature's genius, engineers are basically taking cues from the greatest designer of all – Mother Earth 🌿🚀🔍 Credit: The Science of Dragonfly: By NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13562 Common kingfisher: By Alexis LOURS, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=112511565 Turbulators: By Olivier Cleynen, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=19844405 Velcro photomicrograph: By Trazyanderson, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=72486940 #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. —————————————————————————————- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Apple Podcast – https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/idhttps-podcasts-apple-com-podcast-bright-side/id1554898078 —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official/ Tik Tok – https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Snapchat – https://www.snapchat.com/p/c6a1e38a-bff1-4a40-9731-2c8234ccb19f/1866144599336960 Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
