Nature's Wild Ideas

How the Natural World is Inspiring Scientific Innovation

Kristy Hamilton

Ever more detailed understanding of the mechanisms that evolution has created is giving scientists inspiration for startling new technologies. This round-up of some of these cutting-edge ideas includes the space telescope mimicking the unusual, mirrored eyes of lobsters and the new battery technology that uses silicon nanoparticles embedded in a protective carbon layer, modelled on the arrangement of pomegranate seeds packed into the fruit’s pulp.
