Finding Strenght in Nature (2 of 2)

Scientist are not into discovering how the concept of these structures can help in deciphering biological processes, from cellular shape and mechanical forces to genetic activity, evolution, and biological organization. Understanding molecular mechanisms in biological systems can help scientist in fighting debilitating disease through drug design and tissue engineering.

Then there’s the concept of whirlpools being mimicked in the nanoscale. And in such a minute setting, a new science—micro fluidics—surfaces with a powerful promise that can bring about endless possibilities in the interrelated fields of science, technology, and engineering. Everything seems connected and a part of a grand scheme of things.

Nature is a manifestation of endless wonder and enchantment. This fascination of the world we live in fuels a scientist’s mind with inspiration and ideas. Natural processes such as lightning and climate changes as well as the grand happenings in the world of the atoms—energy, charges, attractions—serve as a compass to a scientist’s quest to deeipher, invent, innovate, discover, and rediscover.

Living in a world where much is to be desired when it comes to balance, stability, and security, we can learn from the relationship science has with nature. Finding solace in the beauty of nature and finding life’s solution from the inspiration the experience brings. – Bato Balani
