By Robert C. Cowen, Christian Science Monitor
To help solve design problems, we should look to nature. For example, ants could help with traffic patterns, bees could provide insights on aerodynamics, and skunk cabbage may reveal new ways to regulate temperature.
Ants could provide a key to how best desing traffic flow, text-messaging and other network systems. Ants could provide a key to how best desing traffic flow, text-messaging and other network systems.
Through millions of years of evolution, many species have come up with elegant solutions to problems that crop up today in various engineering fields. We should learn from this biological wisdom, says Francis Ratnieks at the University of Sheffield in England."
