Evolution finds surprisingly elegant solution, elegant humans surprisingly discover it
submitted 3 years ago * by Marginotions from self.evolution
micro bio-gears
Insect found to have unique adaptation for accurate jumping | Smthsn
“In Issus, the skeleton is used to solve a complex problem that the brain and nervous system can’t” "This precise synchronization would be impossible to achieve through a nervous system, as neural impulses would take far too long for the extraordinarily tight coordination required." (this surprises me, Marginotions) gear teeth, filleted base (fillet = with inside corner curvature in machinist jargon, outside curvature is 'radius'; article says "teeth even have filleted curves at the base, a design incorporated into human-made mechanical gears because it reduces wear over time" is mistaken. In stressed structures, sharp inside corners concentrate stress, rounding the contour reduces it.)
