POPSBiomimicry - "Innovation Inspired By Nature" Another oldie but goody unearthed during my review, clipped in May 2008. The value of knowledge does not decrease with time because we keep forgetting more than we know. It is becoming ever more pertinent, too, so perhaps its value increases with time -- like wine.

POPSInnovators Develop Products That Mimic Nature's Principles " humans are grappling with questions such as "What can we learn from these masterpieces of nature? What secrets do they hold that can help us build a better world for ourselves and for them, for animals and people? In the end, our fates and futures as humans and wild animals are not separate; they are inextricably linked."

POPSWhales & Dolphins Inspire a Novel Design for Wind Turbines "Engineers have previously tried to ensure steady flow patterns on rigid and simple lifting surfaces, such as wings. The lesson from biomimicry is that unsteady flow and complex shapes can increase lift, reduce drag and delay 'stall', a dramatic and abrupt loss of lift, beyond what existing engineered systems can accomplish," Fish said. "There are even possibilities that this technology could be applied to aeronautical designs such as helicopter blades in the future."
