Processing your request, Please wait....NatureTech, a multi award winning series, explores “biomimetics” – the science of looking to nature for answers to modern problems.
Why are blossoms never dirty and can we also make our cars that way? Why can geckos walk on the ceiling and can we use their tricks to create better adhesives? Why is the spider’s web tougher than steel?
Exciting new developments in computer technology, chemistry and physics are now enabling us to understand Nature’s designs better than ever before.
Scientists are not simply trying to copy nature — they are taking hints, extracting principles and applying winning designs of evolution in a new, human context.
Visually, this series is an attractive, fast-paced mix of stunning natural history shots, computer-assisted design and CGI graphics of futuristic inventions, ultra-modern, spacy architecture and high tech as well as scenes of the world’s leading designers and engineers at work, all created by the team that made “Limits of Perception”.
Released in 2004. 100 min (2 episodes in one playlist). TV documentary series.
