Hacking into nature’s designs for innovative solutions

Hacking into nature’s designs for innovative solutions

Nature has been refining sustainable solutions for over 3.8 billion years, and it's time that we turned to these solutions to create more sustainable innovations. Innovators from all fields are seeking wisdom from nature, including solutions like shark skin, spider silk, self-cleaning leaves, structure-based colors, and birds for inspiration. From these examples, innovators can learn how to create better ships, wind turbines, airplanes, swimsuits, hospital equipment, bulletproof vests, biodegradable bottles, and suspension bridges. By looking to nature for guidance, innovators can create more sustainable solutions that benefit all of us.
