Xploration Nature Knows Best
Marine biologist Danni Washington hosts this series that explains how nature has helped to inspire technology that people use on a daily basis. Some of the nature-inspired innovations include airplanes inspired by birds and helicopters that were influenced by dragonflies. The show also introduces viewers to people involved in creating innovations that are based on animals, including biologists who study the behavior of ants, architects designing "living buildings" and roboticists who are making their designs bigger and stronger based on animals.
S1, EP11 "Automated Animals"
Robots' inventors look toward nature to see how animals can help them to do the things that humans cannot.
S1, EP2 "Bio-Based Building"
The Bullit Center living building mimics a tree; nature-based inventions change buildings.
S2, EP2 "Whales"
Host Danni Washington goes whale-watching and discovers the ways whales have inspired new inventions that help people ride bicycles and surfboards better and faster.
S1, EP12 "Muscles of Mimicry"
Some of the world's strongest materials are naturally made, like the silk spiders use to make their webs.
S2, EP13 "Household Nature"
A new type of glass inspired by spiders; a unique farm delivers produce at a lower cost than traditional farms.
S2, EP12 "Transportation"
Amazing modes of transportation inspired by nature, including a robot on wheels patterned after sea urchins; shark skin provides the inspiration behind a new motorcycle.
S2, EP11 "Outer Space"
How biomimicry is being used for space exploration; how the inchworm became the inspiration for the Mars rover; aircraft material inspired by sea sponges.
S2, EP10 "Medicine Inspired by Nature"
A glue made from synthesized mussel adhesive, a prototype for an artificial heart that is part spinach leaf, and a new form of cardiogram based on an ivy plant.
