A new flexible, transparent electrical device inspired by electric eels could lead to body-friendly power sources for implanted health monitors and medication dispensers, augmented-reality contact lenses, and countless other applications, researchers report.
The Center for Biologically Inspired Design at Georgia Tech brings together biologists, engineers, and physicals scientists in order to educate others on bio-inspired design, conduct research in the field of bio-inspired design, and train others to engage with bio-inspired design. The center offers K-12 curriculum on biologically inspired design to encourage […]
This review focuses on the effects of structured water on animals when it is consumed on a daily basis. Structured water is liquid water that is given altered H-bonding structure by treatment with various forms of energy including magnetic fields and light. While most of the research has been conducted on […]
In nature, organisms that swarm such as birds and fish are able to coordinate their locations relative to the other birds or fish in their swarm, allowing them to act as one large unit. Other organisms like fireflies are able to coordinate their […]
Tunas are flexible, high-performance open ocean swimmers that operate at high frequencies to achieve high swimming speeds. Most fish-like robotic systems operate at low frequencies (≤3 Hz) resulting in low swim speeds (≤1.5 body lengths per second), and the cost of transport (COT) is often one to […]
Abstract: In cold wet weather, mammals face hypothermia if they cannot dry themselves. By rapidly oscillating their bodies, through a process similar to shivering, furry mammals can dry themselves within seconds. We use high-speed videography and fur particle tracking to characterize the shakes […]
This article talks about bioinspired architecture. More specifically, it elaborates on how the design of marine sponges is influencing the next generation of skyscrapers and bridges. The skeletal structure of marine sponges is similar to the diagonal lattice architecture that was developed over 200 years ago for […]
New research from researchers at RMIT University addresses some of the technical issues that still need to be solved for 3D printed concrete to be strong enough for use in more free-form structures. Researchers found lobster-inspired printing patterns, helicoidal patterns, can make 3DCP stronger and help direct […]
By combining human ingenuity with nature’s genius, the possibilities are infinite! Every single person can make a difference, even by 1°. How many #degreesofchange can you make with nature as your mentor? The Biomimicry Global Design Challenge is an annual competition that asks […]
