Engineered Networks Mimic Living Networks

The world recognizes technological feats in telecommunications this month. We reflect on key common engineering parallels in biology pointing to markers of intelligent design.

Sense of Smell Uses a Barcode System

Smell is governed by a hidden spatial code, with ~1,100 receptors arranged in precise maps that align nose and brain.  

Scientists Imitate the Octopus for Shape-Shifting Material

New “soft photonic skins” present breakthroughs in materials science that can transform from flat to 3D and camouflage – inspired by the octopus! 

Human Consciousness: AI Can’t Compute or Compete

As science continues to wrestle with the mystery of consciousness, the intricacy of human life points unmistakably to divine design.

Biological Tiles Make Life Beautiful

Is something going on more than mere consequences of natural laws?

Engineers Look to Fish for Microplastics Filter Design

Microplastic filters designed from fish gills are found to be over 99% efficient, surpassing present plastic filter technologies.

Robot Fail Highlights Human Coordination

Despite the rapid progress in artificial intelligence, AI systems continue to fall far short of human dexterity and fine-motor capability.
