February 24, 2021 Adam Forziati Leave a Comment

A Treehugger report recently extolled the virtues of biophilic design — basically, the use of tech strategies, and other elements which mimic natural sources to produce certain behavioral goals. Biophilic office design assumes that the human brain responds better to greenery or other scenery which mimics nature. As one Treehugger writer noted, “Studies have linked […]

Prepare for Better Circadian Light Products

February 3, 2021 Adam Forziati Leave a Comment

I’ve blogged before about the importance of considering “human-centric” or “circadian lighting” patterns for offices — both at home and in commercial buildings. For those unfamiliar, this concept centers around the idea that humans respond better to lighting which mirrors the natural lighting cycle of the sky – so, whitish, blueish light midday; warmer, “orange” […]

Birds Once Again Prove the Power of Biomimicry in Modern Society

December 7, 2020 Adam Forziati Leave a Comment

Is this website slowly becoming a birder’s haven? Maybe if you’re a birder who is also interested in technology. First, we blogged about how biomimetic studies of the Northern Goshawk were used to create a more adaptable drone. Now, we’re seeing something more immediately-applicable in the real world, and it’s all thanks to owls. Research […]

This Robotic Grip is as Cool As It is Unsettling

November 18, 2020 Adam Forziati Leave a Comment

The term ‘biomimicry’ sort of goes hand-in-hand with wellness and calm. After all, biomimicry is often used to solve problems like employee satisfaction and productivity with calming, nature-based methods, such as bioluminscent lighting. But what about the other practical scenarios where a less-comforting solution is required? There’s absolutely nothing comforting about this robotic tongue, as […]

How the Northern Goshawk Might Change What Drones are Capable Of

November 6, 2020 Adam Forziati Leave a Comment

Biomimicry has proven itself capable of soothing stressed employees’ minds and having potential lighting applications. Now, it’s being used to re-engineer drone flight.

But, of course, drones are still relatively […]

August 20, 2020 Adam Forziati Leave a Comment

Bioluminescence is the science of tiny, light-emitting plankton — and it might be a source of sustainable, zero-energy lighting if harnessed at scale. That’s what PyroFarms hopes for, anyway. A report from Grit Daily recently covered the company. It explored how they harness bioluminescent dinoflagellates, the glowing things, to create small, focused light sources which […]

August 14, 2020 TechDecisions Staff Leave a Comment

The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras will offer an elective course on biomimicry in its upcoming semester. For those who aren’t familiar, the concept of biomimicry aims to emulate nature and its patterns as a means to solve problems and care for humans. We’ve seen some early adopters use biomimicry and other techniques to keep their […]
