Lessons from Nature Scientists are always trying to find more effective ways of making high performance materials with minimum consumption of energy and resources‚ minimum waste production and‚ of course‚ maximum functionality. In other words‚ they are trying to make materials that are economically viable‚ environmentally friendly and versatile. Living organisms are examples of design that consume the least amount of energy and materials. They are designed strictly for function‚ yet they excel
