Bio-Inspiration

Bio-inspiration is the process of developing new designs and technologies by studying and mimicking nature’s solutions. Many natural systems and organisms have evolved efficient, innovative ways to solve problems—like how how shark skin reduces drag in water, inspiring improvements in swimsuits and ship hulls. By observing and understanding these biological strategies, scientists and engineers create environmentally friendly and effective products, processes, or materials. Essentially, bio-inspiration leverages nature's time-tested engineering to address human challenges creatively and sustainably.
