1.1. Researchers from Sweden, Canada, and California have developed a synthetic cornea that can be implanted into a human eye to significantly improve sight in people with eye-related diseases. http://www.asknature.org/product/d39566e991fede55a945111f7791987a
1.2. ORNILUX is an insulated glass sheeting made by Arnold Glas, a Germany-based company, which is designed to reduce the causes of bird collisions. http://www.asknature.org/product/077e9d44e8e12f039458729f8de1ada9
2. Waste
2.1. Waste Management is trying to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. http://www.asknature.org/product/fc4d0678aa5aba1b8195ec177bcaafce
2.2. Polycarbonate plastics made from carbon dioxide to reduce harmful green house gases. http://www.asknature.org/product/c3143ba9e46e4adafb11645a7f1b7b95
2.3. Muscles of humans go through self-repair and remodeling due to a modular system that incorporates nutrient and waste transport. http://www.asknature.org/strategy/2bad51df7f545eb2acca674c89c2dd3b#.Uwj5oUJdXuc
2.4. Conventional synthesis processes for large complex molecules like antibiotics are labor-, time-, and energy-intensive. They often produce large quantities of toxic waste for a small industrial quantity of product. http://www.asknature.org/product/bdf320e5bccc768241833e80b333852d
3. Design
3.1. WhalePower developed a new fan and wind turbine blade design using Tubercle Technology. This was inspired by the flippers of humpback whales. http://www.asknature.org/product/49269092db17515de04ac92a75f68bb1
3.2. Researchers at the Munich Technical University in Germany have created a design of a Microfluidic device that creates spider like silk. http://www.asknature.org/product/db078b01d8a8cda426c5d81317034080
4. Technology
4.1. Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a surgical bandage that mimics the way that gecko feet can adhere to vertical surfaces. http://www.asknature.org/product/02316db46c759d6d73e1033d2863e0c6
4.2. Researchers are working on a black surface that maximizes absorption of light, resulting in a more efficient solar energy technology. The surface mimics the black portions of the wings of the green bird wing butterfly. http://www.asknature.org/product/75ba0527a88bd6084ddacf47a54b3eee
