Top 7 COOLEST Technology Innovations Inspired by Nature

Whenever we hear the words ''innovation'' or ''creativity'', we tend to typically think of technology, R&D labs, cutting-edge corporations, and prestigious academic institutions. Despite the ingenuity and engineering ability humans have demonstrated over the past millennia, time and again, we fall short of ''creativity'' when compared to mother nature. The examples of how insights from nature can improve, inspire and innovate technology are endless. One of the ambitious project Artificial Photosynthesis happened in 2016, when an artificial leaf split water into hydrogen and oxygen, combined with a modified bacteria, converted hydrogen into liquid fuel ten times as efficiently as plants. Out of the hundreds of such nature inspired innovations, we thought it would be interesting to round up a few awe-inspiring examples.
