Human retinal architecture inspires event-based vision sensors generating 1000x less data than conventional cameras whilst capturing motion and edges.

• ✿Inspired by: Human retina photoreceptor and ganglion cell arrays
• ⚡︎Function: Biological vision must extract behaviorally relevant information (motion, edges, predators) from high-resolution scenes whilst constraini...

The Eiffel Tower's curved structure and hierarchical truss system mimic the efficient load-bearing design of human femur bone, with supporting elements aligned along lines of force like trabeculae.

• ✿Inspired by: Human femur bone trabeculae
• ⚡︎Function: The tower must support its own massive weight and resist wind-induced bending stresses while minimizing material and cost.
