Tirupati's New Biomimicry Gallery Inspires Innovation
A new gallery called the Biomimicry Gallery was opened in Tirupati.
It shows how nature can help us solve problems and create new technologies.
For example, there's a special cane for blind people that works like how bats use sound to see.
There are also materials that copy how lotus leaves repel water.
The gallery was opened by a professor who said nature is a great teacher.
It's meant to help kids and students learn about science in a fun and interactive way.
The Biomimicry Gallery was inaugurated at the Regional Science Centre, Tirupati.
The gallery showcases how nature-inspired ideas can be applied to science and technology.
Key exhibits include the Ultra Cane for the visually impaired and water-repellent materials inspired by lotus leaves.
The gallery aims to strengthen science learning among children and students through interactive exhibits.
Prof Santanu Bhattacharya, Director of IISER, emphasized that nature offers sustainable solutions to modern problems.
