- Glass that "breathes" like gills, solar cells that imitate leaves, and other biomimetic technologies
- by Blaine Brownell
- From the March 2009 issue; published online March 2, 2009
- Some biomimicry efforts are tackling large-scale challenges such as supplying energy to an entire building.
- The Kyoto-based company Kyosemi has developed a power-harvesting solar cell that imitates the way that trees :collect sunlight from various angles with their leaves. Called Sphelar, the product comprises little :spherical cells that can be incorporated into a building’s windows. Unlike standard photovoltaic panels, :Sphelar can absorb light from many directions, providing more consistent power generation as the sun moves
- across the sky.
