🌳🔬 Researchers from #SaoPaulo State University and the University of #Birmingham found that salt-based extracts from #Moringa oleifera seeds effectively remove over 98 percent of PVC #microplastics from #water.

The #plant-based method matches the performance of industrial chemical coagulants while remaining stable across a wider range of acidity levels.

We are moving from building for users to building like nature. At Silphium Design, we just published a look at the shift from traditional to biomimetic design. Using my computer science and sociology background, I explore why this paradigm shift is essential for modern UX. It is about creating systems that feel as efficient as biology. Let us rethink how we design together.

🐦🌌 Engineers and biologists have found that #bird feathers act like specialized heat sinks that shed infrared radiation through the #atmosphere.

Species living in open #grasslands are especially effective at using this method to stay cool under the #sun. The finding could help researchers design new materials for passive cooling in human #buildings.

Can a font feel alive? At Silphium Design, we are looking at Biomimicry in Typographic Design. In this article we look at how natural structures like vines or cells can make UI feel more intuitive. It is a fascinating intersection of nature and digital interface. Let's make the Fediverse feel a bit more organic.

🤖🧩 Most #robots stop working when they lose a limb or sustain damage, but researchers are using #AI to design machines that can adapt by splitting apart. These modular robots continue their tasks as smaller, independent units instead of shutting down completely.

🐜🌊 Researchers at #GeorgiaTech have looked into how fire #ants interlock their legs and jaws to form buoyant, waterproof rafts that can float for weeks. These "living arks" use tiny air bubbles trapped against their bodies to stay 75% less dense than water.
