Nature has already solved most of our problems 🌿 Biomimicry studies ecosystems to inspire cleaner, smarter designs while green chemistry reduces toxic waste. Together, they help us build a future that works with nature, not against it 🌎 #GreenChemistry #Biomimicry

„Of je nu mens, mier of mispel bent, in de basis draait het voor elk om voedsel, veiligheid en voortplanting,” [..] „Het verschil zit hem in hoe we daarmee omgaan. De natuur is circulair en draait op duurzame energie en levensvriendelijke chemie. Die stappen hebben wij nog te zetten.” #biomimicry

Les médias chinois dévoilent un sous-marin en forme de raie manta : ce robot à corps mou détecte les mines sous-marines et personne ne l'avait vu venir La Chine dévoile un submersible bionique inspiré de la raie manta, capable de détecter des menaces sous-marines dans des conditions extrêmes.

6/6 - With its natural silhouette, this drone offers exceptional stealth. Between minesweeping missions and strategic surveillance, this biomimicry marks a new era where technology literally blends into the marine ecosystem. 🇨🇳🦾

I am calling this Phantom Boundary Bleed.

It comes from BCM theory in neuroscience.

Engineering's Secret Playbook

🦈 The solution to fluid friction existed 450 million years ago.

Engineers are just now catching up — thanks to #biomimicry.
New research from @UIUC breaks down how nature's designs are revolutionising fluid #engineering, heat transfer, and aerospace.

Here are more solutions: by looking at adjacent habitat, cities can model nature’s wisdom. How can mankind not just survive but thrive?

Many opportunities to change our system of destruction to one of generosity and reciprocity exist.

An imaginative scene inside a futuristic greenhouse, featuring a lush, vibrant ecosystem. Towering plants with glowing cyan and magenta leaves fill the space, bathed in ethereal light filtering through a large, transparent, domed ceiling. A winding, elevated walkway cuts through the landscape. Two humanoid robots tend to the plants, their sleek design reflecting advanced technology. In the foreground, a digital display shows detailed botanical information. A massive tree stands majestically in the center, its branches covered in radiant foliage. The atmosphere blends nature and technology in a harmonious, otherworldly environment.
