Or that the needle-like pointed beak of the kingfisher bird encouraged engineers in Japan to change the design of the Shinkansen "bullet trains" to reduce noise? Across multiple fields of study and methods of problem-solving, scientists are turning to biomimicry, or engineering inspired by biology or nature, to make all kinds of cool technological advancements. From robots that protect people and gather information to everyday inventions, like reflectors on the roads and ice-proof coatings for airplanes, to new sources of renewable energy, this book dives into the ways that nature can give us ideas on how to improve our world. Discover more than 40 examples of technology influenced by animals, learn about some of the incredible creatures who have inspired multiple creations, and meet some of the scientists and the stories behind their inventions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 1 $a Ages 7-10 $b National Geographic. 521 2 $a Grades 2-3 $b National Geographic. 650 1 $a Bionics. 650 1 $a Biomimicry. 941 $a 14 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710054805.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012833.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323011805.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314021742.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518024345.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220420010235.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20211014010458.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063023.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210504014045.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20201208011654.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201017010257.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20201010010355.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200929010623.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20200806022430.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D57F22CD7AA11EAACEF483997128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
