How nature affects the development process?
The image above this text portraits leaf or the water drops on the leaf. The thing that makes those drops is the small hair, which is rising the water hovering above the layer because of the surface tension. By copying this kind of structure to the clothes or canvas is possible to make clothes, which are the same time waterproof, but also breathing.
The nanostructure would make the water hovering above the layer, where is the small air holes, which lets the air flowing through the canvas, making the clothes the same time comfortable and dry. This is one of the solutions, where nature has given inspiration.
The reason why the leaves have this kind of structure is that the nano hair would keep the water drops away from the surface of the leaf. That keeps the germs of the fungus above the layer and denies that it cannot grow it's the thread to the air pores of the leaf. Denying the contact between water and leaf keeps the surface of leaf dry, and denies the dirt touching it, which would decrease the photosynthesis.
So what if we would copy the structure of the leaf to solar panels? That denies the dirt touching the surface of the solar panel, which helps to keep them dry. If we are thinking about things like space probes, what must keep their solar panels dry, the nanotechnological hair would make possible to make the structure, which removes dust automatically.
If the nano-hair would rise automatically, that thing makes possible to remove the dust from the layer without special equipment. But the nano hair what moves back and forth would make possible to make new kind of robots, what are moving like bacteria. This kind of system would be the key element in the next-generation scientific and military systems, which are equipped with the silicon core, which can change its form and makes those robots slip in the smallest possible holes. The nano hair can also decrease the echos from the layer, and that thing makes those systems effective in stealth-solutions.
The soft silicone core would make the system invisible to sonars. But if it is also equipped with the layer what reacts to magnets. That would make it possible to pull the layer in a smaller size. Or changing the form of the entire robot. That layer could also detect pressure signals. It could use the nano hair for that purpose. In that kind of system, this makes it the artificial lateral-line sense, where the position of those hairs is telling, where the pressure impulses are coming.
