While nature is creative, and deserves a lot of credit, we know that it doesn't always find the "best" solutions. If we can build jet planes faster than birds, and solar panels more efficient than plants, why not greyer goo than natural bacteria?
- thechao 6y agoWe can! That's my point: we can build these computational silicon nanoparticles (the lab I worked at was doing this in this right at the turn of the century). It just looks different than tiny little robots: just the way the propulsion system of a jet looks nothing like the flapping of wings.
