This video was created in partnership with Bill Gates, inspired by his new book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.” Find out more here: gatesnot.es/3qLlFgq
It's a simple fact that will earthquakes, hurricanes & climate change, we can't design buildings the way we used to. Sometimes, inspiration for better construction materials and structural design comes from nature, in ways you might not expect - like the scales on a fish or the sweat glands in our own skin! Learn all about it with Hank in this new episode of SciShow!

@@bigfootbeliever6985 Yeah, but we still have to go through glass and if our glass ends up being non-recyclable, we need to keep making new glass.

@rolfs2165 3 года назад

Also, how good is that cut-up glass at insulating the room? And the only time I've seen or heard about broken windows needing to replaced was the rooflights in my grandpa's workshop after some golfball-sized hail smashed right through them. I'm not sure whether the fish-scale glass would survive _that._ So my experience already is that windows - at least in residential buildings - need to be replaced almost never.

@mmcat2863 3 года назад

Any company producing laminated glass would want to produce laminated glass indefinitely. Which means people/ other businesses must consume more (you know for the revenue of our glass company). It’s even worse if our glass company is listed on a stock market, as it would then need to show constantly high growth (read sales) numbers (a listed company is required by US law to act in the best interests of their shareholders).

@bigfootbeliever6985 3 года назад

@@DarkAngelEU the reason why sand (the kind that is used to make glass) is becoming rare it's because many people don't recycle glass, in which that includes bottles, old windows, glass kitchenware etc. And so if we want to make use of all sand we have, we need to start recycling it. There are an few machines that recycle glass already, they recycle glass by crushing it into a sand.

I'm an Artist (& Biology student), and so see Biomimicry from perhaps a slightly different perspective than, say, an engineer. That said, I've seen a truly extraordinary number of applications of biologically derived design concepts / engineering over the past few years, and the rate of wondrous new Biomimicry developments seems only to be increasing. • The darkest black paints in existence (Black 3.0 boasts over 99.98% visible light absorption) use carbon nanotube "mazes" to capture incoming photons, working exactly the same as the feathers of some bird wings & the integument of some deep sea fish. • Some new colour pigments even rely on nanoscale surface structures, rather than the light absorption/reflection capability of the material, to create the particular hue - functioning in exactly the same way as the scales on a butterflies wings do. • Manufacturers have designed the internal reinforcing structures of objects as varied as cars, shoes & chairs, using the fibrous lattice structure of the interiors of human/bird bones - optimising the ratio of strength to mass to a remarkable degree. • Civil Engineers are planning the road layouts of future cities (& other infrastructure, such as power/data/water/sewer conduits) based on the extremely efficient growth patterns of slime moulds & the adaptive flow dynamics of the human circulatory system. • High-rise buildings have been built with highly energy efficient internal environment controls (heating/cooling) based on the passive structures of termite mounds - tremendously reducing both the running costs & environmental impact of old fashioned air conditioning systems. • Super quiet fan blades designed using the micro-vortice inducing characteristics of an owl's wings/feathers. • Water repellent materials/coatings based on the Superhydrophobic surface of the Lotus leaf. Inversely, a varient of this technology may be used to attract oils, potentially creating capture nets for oil spills. And so, so many more... Along with profound advancements in Nanotechnology & Computer / AI Designs, Biomimicry is moving humanity towards an unparalleled new age of development.

@The_Opinion_of_Matt 3 года назад

I thought the sweating concrete was going to be a building temperature regulation method. Also, I read a few years ago that they (the infamous they) had discovered the reason Roman concrete was so strong. Salt had corroded the concrete and created a crystaline structure throughout it making it stronger instead of destroying it. Maybe we can engineer a concrete mix that does the same thing with the carbon from co2.

@kyonalabs9500 3 года назад

@fredericapanon207 3 года назад

Concrete is an alkaline compound. This alkalinity protects the steel rebar that reinforces concrete in areas under tension; it is called passivation. Carbon dioxide is acidic (especially when dissolved in water which is why the oceans are acidifying). Over time, carbon dioxide in the air at the surface of the concrete diffuses into the concrete, diminishing the protective alkalinity. This process is called carbonation and is considered to threaten the longevity of the steel rebar. This is why there are building design standards that mandate a minimum cover of concrete between the rebar and the exterior surface. The strengthening over time of Roman concretes is due to the presence of pozzolans, a type of naturally occurring silicate minerals that slowly hydrate (combines with water) over time, strengthening the concrete. This is a very different chemical process. Pozzolans are still additives that get used on concrete mixes within certain proportions. Though they keep getting stronger over time, they are slow to gain strength initially, so generally a maximum of 20% by weight is employed so the concrete can be used within a reasonable amount of time, i.e. one doesn't have to wait for 6 months before removing the forms. Concrete mixes are designed to reach their maximum strength within 28 days (for testing purposes as strength gain slows down a lot thereafter). Edit: changed minimum to maximum.

@fredericapanon207 3 года назад

In addition to what I said above, there is an additive for concrete (or for paint) that is designed to use sunlight to combine with air pollutants to 'scrub' the air clean. I saw it specified for an architectural concrete project once. What I also recall is that it would also double the unit cost of the concrete. Too bad that I cannot recall the name of the additive...

The polymer shifting is an interesting thought, but I have a slightly better idea. How about instead of expensive silver polymers, we instead use photochromic dye films? You might know them better as Transition lenses, and as they respond specifically to direct and semi-direct UV light, they would have the added benefit of not applying a heat conductive metallic silver material to a window in a hot environment, while also keeping windows fully see-through, just shaded. They would also have the benefit of not significantly reducing your light levels when you're dealing with a shaded window. The hazard of this, and of the polymer coating as well, is that in both cases, you're reducing your incoming light level, which increases the need for relying on electric light, which generates more heat IN the home, to say nothing of the increases in CO2 emissions due to the increased wear on the power grid.

Dude! That "polar bear inspired heating material" would be absolutely STELLAR AND PERFECT for the living quarters on Mars once we actually make it there and house ppl for 2 years at a time.. also, I sure hope that the SECOND team going in don't encounter a bloody murder site where Team 1 was living. Good idea for a story or a game oh wait, Doom... Lol

That fish scale glass is intentionally less stiff in order to improve toughness. I'm not sure it's actually stronger in technical terms?

I actually want to start a channel like this for fun (experiments and explanations) but I am kind of struggling - do you have any tips, sci show? I watch your videos and they are so good.

according to the thought emporium, chitosan is the answer to everything so I'm surprised there was no mention of it here. I'd love a whole episode on the uses of chitosan!

When it comes to windows, usually the window frame fails long before the glass does.

Structural Technician here, how would this fire resistant concrete perform structurally during the fire? If the reinforcing melts the concrete will lose a lot of its strength. We rely on that strength to carry the self weight of the building as well as all of its contents and equipment to the footing. How would this concrete perform that function during the fire and until a crew could enter after the fire to chip away and reinstate that specially reinforced concrete?

Gone are the days when biologists were looked down on as studying the easy science. With the growth of molecular biology in some 70 years ago we see the shift in medicine follow to treat the body with greater understanding of the physiologic pathways. Decades ago Janine Benyus began teaching engineers the benefits of biomimicry. She described how to go beyond a point where technology had reached a design limitation. Her lectures focused on where to seek the answer in nature, nature that had 3.8 billion years to field test the concepts in evolving ecosystems. She pointed out the kinds of possible questions to ask. How do living organisms adapt to prevent mineral scaling build up in their structure as marine organisms? How does nature adapt to minimize energy? How to make room temperature ceramics without high temperature kilns like abalone shells and diatoms shells? How to adhere to slick surfaces without adhesives likes geckoes or spiders? How to shed dirt with rain drops like lotus plant leaves? How to redesign ecosystems without fatal disruptions by the use of water like beaver dams? www.ted.com/index.php/talks/janine_benyus_shares_nature_s_designs.html www.biomimicryinstitute.org/ www.asknature.org/
