Witryna3 lut 2024 · Heterogeneous wettability is used by invertebrates such as Namib beetles to harvest water. A beetle shell comprises a random array of bumps. These bumps are hydrophilic, while the rest of the beetle back is hydrophobic. Therefore, water droplets collect on these bumps and once they are large enough, travel over the body of the … Witryna25 sie 2024 · Namib beetles are an example of intelligent insects and creatures in nature that use an interesting strategy to survive and collect water in the desert. In this article, the behavior of Namib beetles has been used to collect water in the desert to model the Namib beetle optimization (NBO) algorithm.
