Nature has always been the greatest laboratory of invention: what humans imagine, plants, animals and microorganisms have often tested millions of years before. Chemist Giorgio Volpi, author of La natura lo fa meglio e prima, takes the audience on a journey through the astonishing strategies developed by the living world—from bacteria that produce magnetic particles to bioluminescent fungi and mollusks able to create unmatched adhesives. In conversation with Camilla Valletti, the dialogue shows how observing natural processes can open new pathways for science, technology and sustainability, reminding us that the innovations of the future often begin by listening to the ingenuity of nature itself.
