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, EP12 "Muscles of Mimicry"
Some of the world's strongest materials are naturally made, like the silk spiders use to make their webs.
S1, EP5 "The Power of Nature"
Humans destroy the planet to create energy; finding ways to improve solar power, wind power and even kinetic power.
S1, EP2 "Bio-Based Building"
The Bullit Center living building mimics a tree; nature-based inventions change buildings.
S1, EP3 "The Science of Safety"
Fish help people to build better armor; woodpeckers help people to address concussions; a deadly creature saves lives by keeping planes in the sky during icy conditions.
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.
