Design<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Scientists have been studying the shark\u2019s skin. When viewed under an electron microscope, the shark\u2019s skin has tiny scales called denticles. The size and position of denticles allow water to flow by quickly, enabling the shark to swim fast. Scientists replicated these denticles on swimsuits. During the 2000 Sydney Olympics, athletes that wore Speedo\u2019s Fastskin (shark suit) swimsuits were able to swim faster, breaking 13 of the 15 world records. Continued research created the LZR Racer (which was named the 2008 \u201cbest invention\u201d by TIME Magazine). Michael Phelps wore this suit at the Beijing Olympics - winning eight record-breaking gold medals. Copying the design of shark\u2019s skin for swimsuits at swim meets gives users such an advantage that these types of sharkskin swimsuits are now banned in competition!<\/p>\n

Naval designers have also applied this sharkskin design to the bottoms of boats. They are finding that cargo ships use less fuel when they add these denticles to the hulls. Also, scientists noticed that on a shark\u2019s skin, there is not much parasitic growth. Now researchers are testing the concept of applying this design to hospital surfaces in order to resist bacterial growth. All this technology is from studying the Great Designer\u2019s design and copying it!<\/p>\n
