The Gecko's Foot: How Scientists Are Taking a Leaf from Nature's Book. Peter Forbes

Autor Peter Forbes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2006
Bio-inspiration is a form of engineering but not in the conventional sense. Scientists, architects, and engineers are looking at imitating nature by manufacturing 'wet' materials such as spider silk or the surface of the gecko's foot. The fine scale of the gecko's foot is beyond the capacity of conventional microengineering.

Recenzii

'[Forbes has] An easy style and an innocence of jargon, and he treads softly on his scientists' dreams. Forbes prefers the term "bio-inspiration" to "biomimetics". The aim is not slavishly to imitate nature, but to learn from it to develop our own solutions to engineering problems. And he is surely right to pounce now, before inspiration turns to perspiration. He has succeeded splendidly.' Hugh Aldersey-Williams, Independent 'The book is a witty blend of anecdote and analysis.' Rita Carter, Daily Mail '[Forbes] provides an illuminating discussion of the evolution of visual systems and the emergence of contemporary understandings of the nature of light.' Dr Brendan Kelly, Sunday Business Post
