| She has worked in the field of biomimicry as an educator, researcher, and design consultant. |
|
| Some advances-grid computing or research in biomimicry, nanotechnology or tissue engineering-take place entirely outside a political context. |
|
| To be sustainable, biomimicry must also consider how something is made and how it fits into a living system. |
|
| And because, as they point out in their article on biomimicry, nature has much to teach us about the containers surrounding the things we value. |
|
| Dental implants, referred to by some as biomimicry, have become important tools in the replacement of natural teeth. |
|
| More than mimicking nature superficially, Bass said, biomimicry is about accessing nature as a launching pad for innovation. |
|
| One of my favorite talks was the presentation on biomimicry, or innovation inspired by nature. |
|
| Interface is not the first textile company to develop products using the principles of biomimicry, Oakey says. |
|
| Essentially, biomimicry is noticing and being aware of how things are made in nature when they're made by natural processes. |
|
| I'm thinking, for instance, of the manifold practical advances today from biomimicry to hydrogen fuel cars. |
|
| This flash animation is part of the Energy CD-ROM and introduces the biomimicry concept. |
|
| Our goal is to offer small, autonomous biomimicry robots to meet the needs of professionals and individuals. |
|
| It's all part of biomimicry, an attempt to mold technology on nature. |
|
| Explain biomimicry and how you draw on it with some examples. |
|
| Given the incredible diversity of life, biomimicry researchers had a seemingly endless supply of organisms and adaptations from which to draw inspiration. |
|
| The nondirectional modular flooring is based on the concept of biomimicry, the studying of nature to solve modern problems. |
|
| Hui employs biomimicry, a design discipline that seeks sustainable solutions by emulating nature's time-tested patterns and strategies. |
|
| The scientific term for this is biomimicry. |
|
| Modern biomimicry is made possible by evolution the mechanism by which nature sorts through and tests countless prototypes to find suitable adaptations for a given population of organisms. |
|
| With that in mind, biologist Janine Benyus coined the term biomimicry in 1997 for the idea that humans can and should borrow the tested designs provided by the natural world. |
|
|
|
| From robotic octopuses to moth-eye solar cells, biomimicry shaped the way that engineering challenges were addressed, heralding great promise for the future of technology. |
|
| Now, just over a decade later, it's fair to say that biomimicry has changed how many people think of both biology and technological innovation. |
|
| From the creation of Velcro by observing plants to learning how to sequester carbon by studying human lungs, biomimicry offers solutions for the future. |
|
| The answer rests in a growing field of scientific study through which engineers, scientists and architects are looking not at what we can extract from the natural world but what we can learn from it: biomimicry. |
|
| I first encountered biomimicry in obscure journals, but in the 13 years since I wrote a book by that name, nature-inspired inspiration has gone mainstream, and its products are in storefronts and catalogues worldwide. |
|
| The main barrier to progress in biomimicry, says Janine, is the lack of a bridge between scientists and the people who need their information, mainly industry innovators. |
|
| Biomimicry is the emulation of nature and its ecosystems to create sustainable human systems. |
