Data di messa in onda: Lug 12, 2025

The episode revolves around the science of biomimicry, or the idea of employing designs and forms from nature to solve human design problems. The concept and science expand to mimic the vital processes carried out by living organisms and employing them for human purposes, such as the use of antifreeze proteins that give marine creatures such as cod the ability to withstand low temperatures in organ transplants and preserve organs from damage, and such as employing bacteria-repellent shark skin in designing clean surfaces for hospitals. Biomimicry holds promising ideas in fields such as medicine, aircraft and automobile manufacturing, and even exploring other planets.
