Aircraft wings and wind turbines use similar edge designs to reduce noise.
Termite mounds maintain constant internal temperatures using natural ventilation tunnels.
Buildings use passive cooling systems inspired by these mounds.
Spider silk is stronger than steel by weight and very flexible.
Engineers mimic spider silk to create lightweight fibers for medical sutures, body armor, and textiles.
