Listen "How did biomimicry change the bullet train?"
Episode Synopsis
What's the one thing Ant is most excited about for his upcoming trip to Japan? Taking the shinkansen, or Japanese bullet train, from Tokyo to Osaka. First launched in 1964 and travelling today at 320 km/h, it's a feat of modern science. Ant and Stacey take a whistle stop tour of the science of biomimicry, examining how nature has influenced the bullet train and other modern technologies. From kingfishers and owls, to sharkskin and photosynthesis - biomimicry is all around us if you know where to look.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
