Nature Tech
Three episodes on biomimicry: what geckos, butterfly wings and termite mounds have already taught engineers.
Synopsis
Gecko feet, shark skin, vulture wings and butterfly scales have all been copied into aircraft, robots, materials and cosmetics. Three episodes work through movement, materials and energy, and the natural system each one borrowed from.
