Learning From Nature(English)

Human technology is often inspired by nature.This act of copying nature is called biomimicry.The material of the swimming suits of athletes have been inspired by shark's skin,breathable fabric has been inspired by plant's stomata,and the design of wind turbines have been inspired by whale fins.                                    Nature is perfectly imperfect, and it is constantly evolving and adapting. The parts that are beneficial remain,while the parts that are not will be discarded or adapted to the changing conditions on the planet.Nature,through constant tinkering has found some truly unique design solutions,from the trunk of an elephant to the spiny nature of a cactus. Even ant hills are designed in a way that allows cool air to circulate in and out,providing a comfortable home for the ants.                     So the world's smartest designers and engineers have based many of our man -made technologies on nature's design.Believe it or not there is a whole field of biology that deals with mimicking  strategies found in nature to invent and develop technology. This specialization is known as biomimicry,which literally means "the imitation of life".      Here are some more example. (1)The pointy end of the bullet train is copied from the structure of the kingfisher bird's beak.                                 (2)The proboscis of mosquitoes inspired the design of injection needles .        (3)The sticky feet of geckos inspired NASA scientists to design robots to work on space ship with specially designed little feet with teeny tiny hairs.    Humans have more to learn from nature.
