Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature

Product Description
Biomimicry is a revolutionary new science that analyzes natures best ideas–spider silk and eyes, seashells and brain cells, photosynthesis and DNA–and adapts them for human use. Janine Benyus takes us into the lab and out in the field with the maverick researchers who are discovering natures ingenious solutions to the problem of human survival: studying leaves to learn how to make microscopic solar power packs that will clean up toxic spills and light our homes; harnessing DNAs coding power to make blindingly fast computers; discovering miracle drugs by observing what animals eat; and much more. The answers are there for the finding, poemlike in their elegance and economy.

Anyone interested in the people and ideas that are shaping our future must read this book to know where the most exciting revelations lie–literally all around us.

The Gecko’s Foot: Bio-inspiration – Engineering New Materials and Devices from Nature

Product Description
A cutting-edge science book in the style of FERMAT’S LAST THEOREM and CHAOS from an exciting and accessible new voice in popular science writing. Bio-inspiration is the new engineering. Instead of – in its crudest terms – welding large piece of hard ‘dry’ right-angled metal together scientists, architects and engineers are looking at imitating (or mimicking) nature by manufacturing ‘wet’ materials such as spider silk or the surface of the gecko’s foot. The amazing power of the gecko’s foot has long been known – it can climb a vertical glass wall and even walk upside down on the ceiling – but nothing could be done with it because its mechanism was beyond the power of optical microscopes. Recently though the secret of the gecko’s foot has been solved by a team of scientists in Portland, Oregon who have established that the mechanism really is dry, and that is does not involve suction, capillary action or anything else the lay person might imagine. Each foot has iGBP million bristles and each bristle ramifies into hundreds of finer spatula-shaped projections. The fine scale of the gecko’s foot is beyond the capacity of conventional microengineering but a team of nanotechnologists have already made a good initial approximation. The gecko’s foot is just one of many examples of this new ‘smart’ science. In Peter Forbes’ accessible and engaging book we also discover, amongst other things, how George de Mestral’s brush with the spiny fruits of the cocklebur inspired him to invent Velcro; how the shape of leaves opening from a bud has inspired the design of solar-powered satellites; how scientists are trying to mimic the self-cleaning leaves of the Scared Lotus plant to create the first self-cleaning pane of glass; and the parallels between cantilever bridges and the spines of large mammals such as the bison. The new ‘smart’ science of Bio-inspiration is going to produce a plethora of products over the next decades that will transform our lives, and force us to look at the world in a completely new way. It is science we will be reading about in our papers very soon; it is the science of tomorrow’s world.

Nokia Morph

Nokia launched a new and Modern Art that is the New Morph concept device mobile phones. This is a bridge between advancedtechnologies and their benefits to users. This device is basically based on nanotechnology. That is explored by Nokia Research Center with Cambridge Nanoscience Centre this device have some revolutionary leaps. This device is developed on Nanoscale Technologies that will potentially open up a new spectrum of possibilities. This mobile requires some extra software for more features.

Nokia Morph features:-

Flexible & Changing Design – Nanotechnology provides features to materials and components that help Nokia Morph to become transparent, stretchable, flexible and remarkably strong. It has thin elastic structures. By using nanotechnology principle, this phone can be work as spider silk. This elasticity features enables the device to change and configure itself into desired shape. This phone has folded design that would easily fit in a pocket and can be managed easily. An unfolded design could be able to display detailed information.

Self Cleaning - Nokia Morph have Nanotechnology that can be leveraged to create self-cleaning surfaces for this mobile, wear and improving longevity, ultimately reducing corrosion. It have nanostructured surfaces, like as “Nanoflowers” dirt, naturally repel water, and fingerprints utilizing effects can also work in good manner and naturally.

Advanced Power Sources – This nanotechnology have possibility that the surface of this device can become a natural source of energy through covering of “Nanograss” structures that harvest solar power source. At that time, high energy density storage materials are allow batteries to become thinner and smaller. This Nokia Morph phone device is quicker rechargeable.

Sensing The Environment – This Nokia device have nanosensors that would empower users to check the environment around them. It can analyze air pollution. It provide New capabilities to sense things we can feel things with help of this device.
