Olhos de mosca são bons para captar energia solar

Livia Aguiar 22 de novembro de 2010

Pesquisadores da Penn State University, nos Estados Unidos, descobriram que o formato dos olhos das moscas é perfeito para captação de energia solar. As córneas das moscas varejeiras, aquelas mais nojentas de todas, são os melhores, pois eles são compostos de diversas lentes côncavas de formato hexagonal. Eles captam muito mais luz do que uma simples superfície plana.

Antes que a Sociedade Protetora das Moscas Varejeiras apareça para protestar, já explicamos: os cientistas não planejam criar milhares de mosquinhas para tirar os olhos delas e fazer placas solares com eles. Foram retiradas as córneas de apenas nove moscas e, com elas, foi feito um molde. As pesquisas avançam agora para descobrir um meio de reproduzir esses diminutos olhinhos em larga escala, para produção industrial.

A mesma universidade que está desenvolvendo esta tecnologia com as moscas também estuda as asas de borboletas para descobrir como criar cor sem utilizar pigmentos.

Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

Realmente existem pessoas que querem proteger moscas? Ta… ta… eu conheço o papo de equilíbrio ecológico, mas duvido que alguem queira, por exemplo, moscas dentro de casa. :\
