Bio-inspired materials: unnatural life.
A t the turn of the nineteenth century, Pieter Harting and George Rainey laid the foundations of a science called “synthetic morphology”1. The inspiration for the name probably came from Wöhler’s discovery of urea synthesis in 1828, a breakthrough commonly perceived to mark the beginning of synthetic organic chemistry. The primary goal of Harting and Rainey’s synthetic morphology was to explain...
متن کاملCustomized Intelligent Life-inspired Arrays
www.polytec.com Crickets possess a hair array that can detect minute changes in air flow measuring particle velocity. It is one of the most sensitive sensory systems known to man. By understanding how this highly sensitive bio-sensor works, we open the door to engineering new sensors that substitute microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology for insect biology. The motivation for this res...
متن کاملBio-inspired CO2 conversion by iron sulfide catalysts under sustainable conditions.
The mineral greigite presents similar surface structures to the active sites found in many modern-day enzymes. We show that particles of greigite can reduce CO2 under ambient conditions into chemicals such as methanol, formic, acetic and pyruvic acid. Our results also lend support to the Origin of Life theory on alkaline hydrothermal vents.
متن کاملA Cuckoo Filter Modification Inspired by Bloom Filter
Probabilistic data structures are so popular in membership queries, network applications, and so on. Bloom Filter and Cuckoo Filter are two popular space efficient models that incorporate in set membership checking part of many important protocols. They are compact representation of data that use hash functions to randomize a set of items. Being able to store more elements while keeping a reaso...
متن کاملbiomimetic auditorium design inspired by seashells
abstract nature has developed materials, objects and processes that function from the macro scale to the nano scale. the understanding of the functions provided by objects and processes found in nature can guide us to imitate and produce appropriate architectural forms. biomimicry is a science that derives inspiration for solutions to human problems through the study of natural designs, systems...
