But the material scientists, they simply can look to the process, how it is working. Just like a child sees the machine, how it is working, but he cannot know who has produced that machine.

The Namibian fog-basking beetle that climbs to the top of a sand-dune at night, radiates body-heat to the night sky to cool its matt-black surface below the ambient temperature and then drinks the water that condenses overnight, courtesy of water-attracting bumps that create spherical droplets which run easily to its mouth.
