Extended reading read the article from a science magazine about the field . of bionics bionics where nature and technology intersect. Humans are curious by nature and about nature perfected over billions of years. Natures forms and functions have inspired us to imitate and developed materials and technologies that improve our lives. Consequently, a science known as bionics was born. Although the term bionics officially dates back to one thousand and fifty eight, the practice is century IT could be said that as far back as two thousand five hundred years ago, luu bang, a carpenter in ancient china, was engaged in bionics when he produced a saw by copying the shape of a leaf sharp teeth. Currently, bionics has scientists eagerly coming the natural world for original ideas to stimulate their creativity. The idea of taking inspiration from nature may sound simple. However, scientists often need to go to great links to effectively combine nature and innovation. Firstly, they must observe a living organism with the potential for offering solutions to a particular human problem. Secondly, during observation and data analysis, scientists should try to identify natures own solutions, which may be used in design and engineering. Thirdly, further exploration is required to determine how the natural solution will fit in with human needs. Finally, they need to decide whether the solution can be recreated to develop a new product or perhaps improve an existing one, and how this can be achieved. This process may have to be performed several times, and IT may take scientists years of trial and error to perfect the Price. Once scientists bridge the gap between nature and innovation, a path opens up to many novel ideas. One idea grew from observing the sunflowers spiral seed pattern, which is not just eye catching, but also intelligent. The seeds grow at the golden angle of one hundred and thirty seven point five degrees, ensuring all of them receive sunlight to capture maximum sn late. The sunflowers face also follows the sun's path, as capturing sunlight is the purpose of solar power plants. IT is not surprising that engineers have decided to imitate the sunflowers s natural solutions. Solar mirrors are arranged to copy the spiral seed pattern and position at the same golden angle. The mirrors are also programmed to follow the sun, hence the solar power plant functions exactly like a sunflower. The solar power plant is also eco friendly, requiring less land to build on and less energy to Operate. Equally exciting are the diverse possibilities provided by the animal kingdom. For example, research into the brilliant blue wings of a species of butterfly has LED to innovative technologies since scientists uncovered the secret behind their bright color. The winds of these butterflies are covered with tiny diamond shaped structures that interact with light, causing some color wavelength to be cancelled out while intensifying and reflecting others inspired red. Scientists have recreated these microstructures that can be inset into legal documents and bank notes and produce a unique visual effect, almost impossible to copy a Better understanding of the butterflies. Vividly colored wings has also LED scientists to develop paints without using harmful substances, which not only last longer, but are also more eco friendly as we continue to study and appreciate the wonder of nature, IT is certain that our future will see many more fascinating technological innovations. Bionics is set to move forward quickly with potential growth in the areas of vision, hearing, artificial lions and wearable robotics. For example, inspired by the incredibly strong exoskeletons of insects, scientists and engineers are now building robotic suits. When warn, these exoskeleton can greatly improve the mobility, strength and load bearing capabilities of the war. However, what we are witnessing today is just the tip of the iceberg. Once such obstacles as power supply, weight and range of motion are overcome, exoskeleton will have even wider locations. Indeed, a real life fireman could be waiting for us in the future. With such rapid advancements being made in bionics, we have come to realize how clever nature is and how much I can show us as we work hard to make life Better for everyone. IT is possible that nature has the answers to our most urgent questions, and all we have to do is look for them. Nature not only provides our lives with the scenic backdrop, IT could also prove to be our greatest teacher.
