  An exploration of the transformative ways in which nature has inspired the technological advancement of humankind.
  
  Biomimetics literally means emulating biology - and in a broader sense the term covers technological advances where the original inspiration came from nature. The Earth is a vast laboratory where the mechanisms of natural selection have enabled evolutionary solutions to be developed to a wide range of problems.
  
  In this new title in the Hot Science series, science writer Brian Clegg looks at how humans have piggybacked on natural experimentation, redeploying a solution to create things that make our lives easier. He looks at how the hooks on burdock seeds inspired the creation of Velcro, how the stickiness of the feet of geckos and frogs has been used to create gripping surfaces, such as tyre treads, and how even the most basic optical enhancement in the form of spectacles is itself a form of biomimetics.

  “Without Our Consent” is a trailblazing story on pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides from his own experience and allergies to these chemicals. An immense amount of research has been used to paint a picture of abundance use by agriculture and livestock farming in the USA. Researching this topic our author Bob Skerstonas has provided us with a wealth of information backing this up with over 395 footnotes for a reader to dig deeper into the overuse of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. 90% of the US population has detectable concentrations of pesticides or their metabolites in their urine or blood samples.Pesticides have been linked to a variety of health problems, including cancer, birth defects, and hormonal imbalances.Farmworkers and pesticide applicators are particularly at risk of pesticide exposure and related health problems.

  In Search of Darkness - The...

  Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries in the universe. Despite being invisible and undetectable by traditional means, it accounts for a significant portion of the universe’s mass. It has been a subject of scientific inquiry for over a century, and yet, it remains largely elusive. The term "dark matter" was first coined in the 1930s by astronomer Fritz Zwicky when he observed that galaxies in clusters were moving much faster than expected based on the visible matter they contained. Zwicky hypothesized that there must be some unseen mass, which he referred to as "dark matter," to explain the extra gravitational pull. This idea was revolutionary at the time, but it took decades for the concept of dark matter to gain widespread acceptance in the scientific community. 
  In the following years, astronomers and physicists continued to gather indirect evidence for dark matter’s existence. The observation of galaxy rotation curves provided another compelling clue. Galaxies, such as our Milky Way, were found to rotate faster at their outer edges than could be explained by the visible matter alone. If only the mass of the stars and gas were considered, the galaxies would not be able to maintain their rotation speeds without breaking apart. However, the additional gravitational influence of dark matter seemed to explain this discrepancy, pointing to its presence. 
  Despite this evidence, scientists still have no direct way to detect dark matter. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to traditional telescopes and detectors. The most that can be done is to observe its effects on visible matter, radiation, and gravitational forces. The hunt for dark matter has since become a driving force in astrophysics and particle physics, with scientists developing new methods and tools to try and detect it.
