Since the invention of electric light, life has become more convenient and rich. The electric lamp can only convert a small part of electric energy into visible light, and most of the rest is wasted in the form of heat energy, and the heat rays of the electric lamp are harmful to people's eyes. So, is there a light source that only emits light without heating? Humans have turned their attention to nature again.
In nature, many creatures can emit light, such as bacteria, fungi, worms, mollusks, crustaceans, insects and fish, and the light emitted by these animals does not produce heat, so it is also called "cold light".
Fireflies are one of many luminous animals. There are about 65,438+0,500 species of fireflies. Their luminous colors are yellow-green, orange, and their brightness is different. The light emitted by fireflies not only has high luminous efficiency, but also is generally soft, suitable for human eyes, and the light intensity is relatively high. Therefore, biological light is the ideal light for human beings.
Scientists found that the luminous device of fireflies is located in the abdomen. This light-emitting device consists of three parts: a light-emitting layer, a transparent layer and a reflective layer. The luminescent layer contains thousands of luminescent cells, both of which contain fluorescein and luciferase. Under the action of luciferase, fluorescein will fluoresce with the participation of intracellular water. The luminescence of fireflies is essentially a process in which chemical energy is converted into light energy.
As early as the 1940s, people created fluorescent lamps on the basis of the study of fireflies, which greatly changed the lighting sources of human beings. In recent years, scientists first isolated pure fluorescein from fireflies, then isolated luciferase, and then synthesized fluorescein artificially by chemical methods. A biological light source consisting of fluorescein, luciferase, ATP and water can be used as a flashlight in a mine full of explosive gas.
Now, people can get cold light similar to biological light by mixing some chemicals for safe lighting.
food chain
The chemical energy stored in organic matter in the ecosystem closely links organisms through a series of relationships between eating and being eaten. This sequence of organisms interconnected by food nutrition is called food chain. According to the relationship between organisms, the food chain can be divided into predatory food chain, prey food chain, parasitic food chain and saprophytic food chain.

During the long evolution of hundreds of millions of years, animals have gradually formed various peculiar structures, special functions and interesting habits. Through long-term observation and research, people have gained many extremely valuable inspirations from animals. According to the body structure and special functions of animals, human beings have created and invented new mechanical systems, instruments and equipment, building structures and technological processes with excellent performance, which is bionics. The ancients saw fish swimming freely in the water, how envious they were of their skills! Later, we imitated the fish's body shape to make a hull, imitated the pectoral fin and caudal fin of the fish, and made sculls and paddles. From then on, humans can move freely on the water. Based on the flight principle of birds, we made an airplane and flew in the blue sky, realizing our dream of flying in the sky. By studying the dog's nose, human beings imitated and made a small, fast and sensitive automatic analyzer-"electronic nose", which can also be used to analyze the gas composition in the cockpit of mines, warehouses, submarines and spacecraft, and can also be used for prospecting and leak detection of gas pipelines. Now, an "electronic police dog" has been successfully developed, which can be used to detect toxic gases, dyes, paints, acids, ammonia, benzene, gas and the smell of fresh apples and bananas. It can measure one tenth of the gas concentration, and its sensitivity has reached the level of a dog's nose. It can also be used for detective work. By studying the gill, the respiratory organ of fish, humans imitated the structure of fish gill, and made a translucent membrane with gill function with two layers of silicone rubber membrane, which can be used as an "artificial gill" for people to breathe in water. Humans have also made an efficient "desalter" according to the mechanism of crocodile discharging salt, which can be used to extract or concentrate some dispersed elements ... The eyes of flies are composed of 6,000 to 8,000 small eyes. It's called compound eye. Humans made a "compound eye camera" by imitating the eyes of flies. This kind of camera can take 1329 different photos at a time when it is installed on an artificial satellite, and can be used to copy the particularly fine micro-circuits of electronic computers. If this camera is used for stamp printing, one board can print 25 stamps, and one photo can be taken at a time. With an ordinary camera, you have to take 25 photos one after another. Humans have studied the eggshells of oviparous animals, which are thin and strong and have strong pressure resistance. By imitating the appearance characteristics of eggshells, they created a "thin shell structure", which is widely used in construction projects. Through the study of bioluminescence such as fireflies, human beings are further creating a new and efficient artificial cold light source. If we can create a substance similar to bioluminescence and apply it to indoor walls, we can receive light during the day. It can be seen that studying the characteristics of animals is helpful to broaden our horizons, emancipate our minds, boldly imagine and practice, so as to design blueprints of various construction machinery and create more exquisite and perfect modern technical devices.

According to the visual principle of frog's eye, people have successfully developed an electronic frog's eye. This kind of electronic frog's eyes can accurately identify objects with specific shapes like real frog's eyes. After installing electronic frog eyes in radar system, the anti-jamming ability of radar is greatly improved. This radar system can quickly and accurately identify aircraft, ships and missiles with specific shapes, especially distinguish between true and false missiles.
Electronic frog eyes are also widely used in airports and traffic arteries. At the airport, it can monitor the take-off and landing of aircraft, and give an alarm in time if it is found that the aircraft is about to collide. On the main roads, it can direct the driving of vehicles and prevent vehicle collisions.
