The concept of biomimicry, or the modeling of materials, structures, and systems on biological entities and processes, has become increasingly popular in recent years. One example of biomimicry is the development of Velcro, which was inspired by the way burs stuck to George de Mestral’s clothing while on a hike. The natural world has been a source of inspiration for many innovations, from shark skin-inspired swimsuits to whale fin-shaped wind turbine blades. Biomimicry offers many benefits, including sustainability, as natural solutions are often environmentally friendly and more efficient. Additionally, it can provide novel solutions to complex problems, such as mining and cleaning, by looking to nature’s examples. The process of biomimicry can also change our perspective and build infrastructure that yields net positives, rather than just neutral results. As humans have only been innovating for a short period of time, natural systems have had millions of years to evolve and refine solutions. As we delve into biomimicry, we can take advantage of these tested and efficient strategies to find new and innovative solutions.
