Sharkskin was used as a model to make swimsuits more effective.

The Gherkin building is based on marine animals. Its shape reduces wind deflection and makes it more stable. While its double layer walls allow for natural cooling.

By copying the water filtration systems of organisms like the Mangrow tree and Mollusc, water filtration systems are working effectively.

The velcro was designed based off of this plant that sticks to animals fur so that they can reproduce.

Like this plant, people designed the velcro which sticks to the other part of it.

A hawk is very fast and the scientists found out that the reason wy they are so fast was because of how they fly. This specific body structure is aerodynamically very efficient so they designed this fastest plane.

This leaf spins while they fall down. Using this structure of the leaf, people designed the propeller of the helicopter.

George de Mestral looked at burrs that attached to him under a microscope and noticed the small hooks that allow burrs to stick to fabric.

The Geckos grippy feet inspired training and hiking shoes with better grip in order to move without slipping and move up steep hills.
