Sharks have many biological features that can be used and implemented to create real-world solutions. One of them is their skin, which has friction forces that can help with mobile vehicles’ drag reduction forces, and reduce friction in certain fabrics. As the passage says, “The project findings […]
While the advancements and technological discoveries humans make may seem useful to us, they often impact other animals or elements in our world very differently. We typically only acknowledge our own needs and design solutions for those, without realizing what affect it may have elsewhere. One example of this are the […]
This article describes a discovery that aims for safer vehicles. Another goal was for it to reduce congestion on the roads. It describes the Eporo robot car which is modeled on the schooling behavior of fish. This makes it easier to avoid collisions and concentric zones for […]
Like in many cases, the inspiration of a kingfisher bird for Shinkansen trains was rooted in a problem that needed to be solved. People realized that Shinkansen trains were very loud, and although they were fast, this was an issue causing a lot of disturbance. In order […]
