C) The study of gecko feet
D) The structure of natural models
Professor: Today we're going to explore a fascinating field at the intersection of biology and engineering called biomimicry. The core idea is simple: to look to nature for solutions to human problems. It's about innovation inspired by natural models. A classic example is how early airplane designers studied the shape of birds' wings to understand the principles of flight and lift. In our next session, we'll examine more modern applications, such as developing new adhesives by studying the feet of geckos.
