Science Today, Biomimicry, Apprenticed To Nature Once AgainAre viruses the way to green manufacturing?

"Even in a place like MIT where you can't walk down the hall without running into someone famous, she stands out for her scientific vision and scientific bandwidth and ability to touch all areas of the community,"
Prof Angela Belcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is the superb Biomimicry Student.
She does not emulate one species at a time, but Nature herself.
She engineers evolution, recruiting viruses to assemble random new choices en masse, using conscious selection and reiteration to investigate and recombine the results.
Belcher, Prof. of Energy, chooses combinations of elements and proteins based on what most improves the quality of life, medicine, energy, and environment.
She represents an entirely new way of doing and conceiving science, not just the most revolutionary of methodology, but beyond paradigm and disciplines. "when we begin to see organisms and ecosystems as mentors, we become students and our relationship changes, from hubris to humility" learn to see "with the eyes and the heart of the apprentice" Biomimicry is key to a more sustainable shift to sustainability. When the engineer stands at the foot of a lower species seeking stand-undering, it changes the whole "better than nature" paradigm back to "we are nature". To become the apprentice is to shift from disrespect to seeking respect. As more industries make essential progress at nature's tutelage, others must follow; such is the way of human enterprise, of evolution, of revolution. Sustainable is simply better investment.The best overview imaginable of the strongest current in (the "fall" of) western thought AND 21st Century scientific technology is this recent Canadian TV show.
Treat soil as though it were a dead matrix for chemistry instead of a living thing.
Turn the sequestration of toxins in the crust upside down.
The "highest" primate has been pretending to "be above" even our own natures until not only Nature is the enemy, but each of our "human nature"s is likely as not a mad dog one way or another (often in packs). Without a veneration of the Allness we are too many rats in the cage, too many packs of mad dogs in the "wilderness".Take a look at the complexity of the actual 3D structures of chlorophyll.

A first glimpse of a world with a few more data points.First, maybe in our health care devices, and in DARPA's microbots, then in our phones, and then ubiquitous, these won't just change the cost and power of health care. They will turn our world inside out, making our data map much more vast than the real world now feels.
First the Earth, then the Universe, will be our lab; math and algorithms our hypothesizes, tools, experiments, and results.
There will be no privacy, you leave your scent wherever you go, an array may sniff things about you that you don't even know, like states of health or emotion.

Ever Smaller meets Seeing with a Tuning Fork - the Atomic Force MicroscopeWhat's next? the answer continually amazes me.
Overarching patterns do emerge however.Not only will structure and power generation and consumption began to come together, but power and data will also continue to blend. Where ever power is used to process and communicate data, it is also increasingly collecting chemical, mechanical, and other physical data. Increasingly the Defense Dept. is doing research on swarm behavior and evolutionary algorithms that apply evolutionary algorithmic methods to themselves.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_algorithmFuture wires may well power themselves enough for the needs of computation and communication, and structural elements will increasingly embody micro electronics as well as power collection or storage. It is not that hard to see the day when a few small micro-pieces of nano-engineered materials can form a mobile linked multi-sensor platform that takes it's power from "context" due to Sun and variations in ambient fluctuations in heat, vibrations, and radiations. Such a material will not bring the grey goo, but it could be on the way there.
These "nano-bots", really at micro scale, will be built taking advantage of self assembling materials, but they will not be able to do such assembly. The microfluidics they are built to perform will quickly find ways to build tinier more integrated structures however. True Microbotics, fabricated at the nano scale, will bring more revolution in human being than microelectronics.
This is not the distant future, it's 10-20 years from now, depending on how hard we resist it. Farther along, but probably before robots out-think us in every way, true nanobots will be constructed at the femto scale, by microbots. These may well soon after become to a large degre self replicating.
The reasons I don't worry about the gray goo are Love and Reason.
Emotion, attachment, is the only solid basis for rationale.
I believe our micro electronics are in the process of using us to figure out how to program such things.
Even as most of us don't get it yet, and inefficiently as it progresses, inevitably we go towards more possibilities. Microcomputers, sensors, microdrones, these things are coming together in ever smaller more integrated packages. We are nearing a critical point where lower power and smaller scales enable ambient energies like sound and the natural radio environment to provide power. None of this is sci fi, this is all stuff that has been demonstrated to be feasible (some programs, like picoradio, seem to 'evaporate' into state secrets right about here). It is not inconceivable that many of us will see the day when the built environment is our best source of advice, as we attempt to wade oceans of information by asking the patterns to show themselves; soon after problematic patterns will be asked to heal themselves. Complex problems of engineering, maintaining, and modifying our built environment, and it's impact on Earth, will be beyond our comprehension or concern, much as it was before, but at our behest to a much greater degree. We've built mechanical bees that fly in scale, we've geared them up and precisely measured their power, and now we've even wired up beetles' and rats' brains to choose their course by remote control. The sky is literally the limit.Eventually we will be asking ourselves very seriously where the inside and outside begin and end. No matter how we go about it, the collective will rise to a degree that the modern ego cannot, for it simply will not, survive. The modern ego always was just a(n) (in)convenient illusion.RFID chip implanted into man gets computer virus
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10159315Youth today give me great encouragement, and concern, regarding the question of retaining freedom, individuality, and diverse thought in action, as we also become Borg. There is a way to make this world much more humane when it is taken from human hands, but doing it in time, while keeping the best of what we call humanity...
hmmm. bzzzzz
We must listen first to the bees, there is no choice but to be their collaborators.For our robot to act right it must have a heart, even if it contains no fluid, which it probably will.
Shareholder profit is not the heart of our future.
Mature 21st technology will breathe eat and shit, it will have fluids very much like ours which will be modified to be even more similar and seemless with our tools.
There will be no room for humans who are tools of others. As science begins to lay our emotions bare, and learns to apply motivation to automated (collective) discernment, we must also realize the necessity of all that which western thought has historically tried to distance itself from.

It's not just that mind blowing cosmography is becoming common, this article stresses the way that important work is increasingly very interdisciplinary. Even "pure" science of a single discipline requires the specialists that enable the very toolage and experimental methods and interpretations, who are from other disciplines like ogic, design, electromechanical design, physics, et cetera. We must build our better compass while we are not yet quite entirely lost.Anthropology, Exo-biology, and materials engineering have always been very multidisciplinary, but now they are all more tightly actually, and conceptually, linked. Our understanding and our methods of expanding it have become one giant field that no one can master. Our daily lives, toolage, survival, and interdependence are part of that. Software engineers cannot do the user testing part of their job without the methodologies of the social sciences and younger social scientists can't do their job without the software. More than ever we are in need of the entire old meaning of the Greek word technologia.

As the 20th century closes the interdependent complexity of our toolage is incomprehensible to the unaided brain.
As the 20th Century opened, most toolage and structure needs could be accomplished by wood; tools that were all steel still had a countable number of tools, operations, and resources they depended upon. Today most devices we use require tools built with numerical control machinery that reduces tolerances to 1 or 2 millionths of a millimeter, which itself requires many such tools to build. These extreme dependencies of one tool, or individual, on the other will actually improve with biomimicry, becoming reinforced by redundancies, cycles, stacked balancing acts, and a lushness diversity.Centuries ago we sent science to the eight corners of Allness to find the answer, the results are now coming in from all over.
Inside and out, Earthly and not, the answer is to respect and revere the fragile uniqueness of every aspects of our being.
