🧪 Solutions 103 | Boats Floating on Air and Solar Panel Crystal Balls: Lessons from Nature

Orbitals

We humans are pretty smart, but sometimes our best solutions to big problems are inspired by nature! We're talking to scientists about how deep-sea diatoms can inspire more efficient solar panels and how tiny marine plants can lead to boats that float on air… literally.

Solutions is made with funding and featuring scientists from 3M, Ascend Performance Materials, Baker Hughes, BASF, Dow, DuPont, Procter & Gamble, PPG, Royal DSM, SABIC, Solvay, and W. L. Gore & Associates, none of whom influenced any editorial decisions.
