Shark skin technology

Shark skin technology mimics the microscopic texture of shark’s skin, which reduces drag and prevents algae and bacteria from attaching. This is achieved through a pattern of tiny, tooth-like scales called dermal denticles. When applied to surfaces such as swimsuits, ships, or pipes, the textured surface allows water to flow more smoothly, decreasing resistance and increasing efficiency. This innovation enhances performance in sports, conserves fuel in transportation, and improves hygiene in medical settings, all by leveraging nature-inspired design to optimize fluid dynamics and reduce unwanted buildup.
