If I asked you how would you reach the ground safely from the sky? You would certainly say by using a parachute. However, did you know that a gently swinging and falling cactus flower, inspired mankind to solve that problem. Scientists have now admitted that the best way to find answers for our problems is by studying nature. This unveiling of micro secrets in nature to produce new creations is called biometry.  |

An airplane that can fly higher than a bird is just like a giant student of a tiny bird teacher. Designers have utilized the shapes of the body, head, chest and the unique shape of wings of birds to design aircrafts. Although an airplane can fly higher, it cannot remain stationary in the sky. Scientists identified the motion of the dragonfly's wings helps it to stay in one place and they blended that secret to the helicopter. Taking one step ahead, the newest aim of scientists in Florida University is study the flight of insects to develop an aircraft smaller than 6 inches which can be used in warfare.  |

Velcro tape is one of the oldest examples of biomimicry that we use daily like clothes and bags and it is designed by studying the seeds of sticky grass. Though people see these seeds as a nuisance. Mr. George Mistral founded a business worth millions in 1951 simply by observing the seeds clinging. He studied how the tiny hooks of these seeds cling to fur fabric and leather.  |

Scientists studied the ability of butterflies to change the color of their wings and developed surfaces similar to them. It is another Amazing creation of nanotechnology. It is a painted surface which is capable of changing colors by manipulating the direction of light reflection.  |

The high-speed electric trains or bullet train that are commonly used in countries such as China and Japan, during the era of development of these trains the greatest trouble engineers faced was the tremendous noise generated by the compression of air while passing through the tunnels. The engineers found the solution by observing Kingfisher, the unique shape of its beak allows it to move quietly through the air as well as the water to hunt fish. Discovering this phenomenon Japanese scientists produced the head of the bullet train in the shape of a Kingfisher's beak. This gave the question a perfect answer as an unexpected advantage, it added 15 power saving and 10 extra speed.  |

We have learned more interesting lessons from the dwarf termite. This is not about their unity but the nest the dwarf termite is capable of creating architectural events to keep the nests cool. Inlet vents are made lower to allow cool airing and outlet vents are higher to allow warm air to rise by convection. People have utilized secret of dwarf termites to build mega buildings.  |

There are many things to learn from the behavior of small insects such as cockroaches. Famous scientists study them due to the possibility of developing technological concepts. Using these studies the Glass Sponge is a creature that lives in deep seas and is made of a combination of weak chemical components but has a strong skeleton. Some might be troubled by the dwelling of Pawn Skaters on surface of water and another might be puzzled by the contribution of a Shark's rough skin to its speed. They are keen to investigate secrets because their curiosity will emerge new item of technology in the future.  |

These are the few examples out of thousands of biomimicry applications have been brought to your attention because you too are capable of contributing valuable ideas to developing the field of technology. The nature is the creator of this amazing world from the beginning of this world. Nature has endeavored to find the most suitable and efficient answers and the result are still visible today.  |
