One-celled Protozoa Inspiration单细胞原生动物的启示 Bacterial sensors:? Scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution are recruiting bacteria to test water quality.? According to?Science Daily, their “revolutionary?Swimming Behavioral Spectrophotometer (SBS) ...?employs one-celled protozoa?to detect toxins in water sources.”? The contraption, which monitors the swimming ability of the germs as indicators of water quality, could some day monitor all the drinking water in the world, with instantaneous feedback and continuous response.? The Department of Defense is very interested.? One-celled Protozoa Inspiration单细胞原生动物的启示 细菌传感器：在伍兹霍尔海洋学研究所的科学家正在招募细菌检验水质。据科学日报，他们的“革命游泳行为分光光度计（SBS）...采用单细胞原生动物，检测水源的有毒物质。它作为监测水质细菌指标的游泳能力，可以监控所有在世界上饮用水即时反馈和持续反应水。国防部很感兴趣。 Butterfly Inspiration蝴蝶的启示 Butterfly medic:? “Butterfly-Inspired Patch May Alert Soldiers to Brain Injury” reads a headline on?Live Science, describing how “A color-changing patch?modeled after the iridescent wings of butterflies?could give soldiers a heads-up on the severity of injuries sustained on the battlefield,” thanks to work at the University of Pennsylvania. 蝴蝶卫生员：“蝴蝶的启发补丁警报士兵脑损伤”Live科学标题，描述如何“颜色变化的补丁后，虹彩蝴蝶翅膀的蓝本可以给士兵们元首对受伤的严重程度持续了在战场上，”宾夕法尼亚大学研究 。 Spider Webs Inspiration蜘蛛网的启示 Silk drop control:? Remember how spider webs collect dew by causing water droplets to bead up due to the nature of the proteins in the silk? ??Nature?reported that Chinese scientists are trying to imitate this trick with synthetic silks. 丝绸降控制：记住如何收集蜘蛛网通过使水滴结成水珠由于在蚕丝蛋白的性质露水呢？自然科学家报告说，中国正试图模仿这个人造丝绸把戏。 ? Earthworm Biohazard Inspiration蚯蚓生物危害的启示 Earthworm biohazard sensors:? Why build electronic sensors to detect hazmat (hazardous materials), when earthworms can be hired to do it???Science Daily?reported that researchers in Venezuela and Argentina are studying the “viability of using earthworms to process hazardous material?containing high concentrations of heavy metal for the bioremediation of old industrial sites, landfill and other p
