How Suckerfish Are Inspiring New TechnologySuckerfish are the latest biomimicry models for technology inspired by nature. Also known as remoras, these hitchhiking fish travel the world's oceans clamped to the backs of whales, rays and sharks, among other sea creatures.In a recent paper in the Journal of Experimental Biology, researchers explained how they used a webcam to hitchhike alongside a blue whale. The footage showed that suckerfish cruise with ease, using fluid dynamics to stay attached. This finding and further exploration of the suckerfish sucker anatomy has inspired new technology that could help with attaching sensors and other gear to rough surfaces.Read more here@BionicsBiomimicryBiomimetics
