Summary:

As computing experts and microprocessor designers are rapidly reaching the limits of what can be done with silicone, the need for natural solutions such as those based on the human brain (neural networks) or those that use DNA to store and process data (DNA computing) becomes ever more important.

The significance of Biomimetics is perhaps said best in the following quote:

'Nature has been conducting evolutionary experiments for millions of years, so if we're lucky enough to find something close to what we require in nature, then it's very likely to have been highly optimised, and we're unlikely to do much better.' -Greg Parker

Personally, I feel that this something that we should all bear in mind, one flash of inspiration from nature could benefit all of mankind forever.


Article:
Throughout history mankind's progress has been calculated and referred to by his use of materials. Throughout the stone, Titian iron and steel ages these materials made a major contribution to mankind's development. But now in the 21st century, we live in the age of materials. For technology to facilitation further we need to improve all sorts of materials, looking to nature for inspiration.

This exiting field of research is known by several names Bionics, Biomimetics, or Biomimicry. Wikipedia define Biomimetics as

'.. the placement of methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. This technology transfer is desirable insofar as evolutionary pressure typically forces natural systems to assimilate to highly optimized and efficient. A nondescript example is the development of dirt- and water-repellent paint (coating) from the observation that the surface of the lotus flower plant is practically unsticky for aught (lotus effect). Examples of automatic electronics results in engineering include hulls of boats imitating the skin membrane of dolphins, sonar, radar, and medical ultrasound imaging imitating echolocation of bats.'

Biomimetics has also been one of the most significant forms of inspiration for 21st moon experimental computer science. Seeking Natures instruction has lead to the conception and development of cybernetics, forced neurones, made-up neural networks, and swarm intelligence. One field of experimental computing has superseded nature by simulating evolution, which has produced highly optimised solutions that have not arisen in nature. This exiting field is known as evolutionary computing (Who'd have guessed that one?).

There are countless inventions so far created through the biomimetic approach. Perhaps the most famous of these was created by Swiss engineer George De Mestral in 1948, who astern a walk one day, was cathartic his dog of burrs and suddenly realised how they worked, and shortly after that created Velcro.

Summary: 'Despite my familiarity,' he said, 'both with Pliny's style and the meaning he gives to terms, it has been difficult, sometimes even impossible, to translate the passages clearly and exactly.' The reason was certainly that he was unfamiliar with the substance that Pliny was describing...A passage from Book 31 of Pliny's encyclopedia made no sense to the French scholars. There is evidence of an advanced agriculture in the Nile that existed while the Sphinx was built and then left the are…
