How is Nature Inspiring Engineering? | Disruptive Thinkers

How is nature inspiring engineering? How can engineers draws from the fundamental lessons of nature to create the transformative technologies of tomorrow? In the first of a new series of Disruptive Thinkers videos Prof. Marc-Olivier Coppens and colleagues from the Centre for Nature Inspired Engineering are exploring how the structures of trees can build new reactors, how kidneys can inspire water purification systems and how the structure of insect nests can influence the way cells communicate.

Every month we’ll be releasing a new video showing some of the disruptive thinking happening across our faculty. From making cities more inclusive, to how fibre optics are innovating medical procedures right through to designing pandemic proof cities right through and how business can be more sustainable.
