Now, we can be as quiet as owls #shorts #science #SciShow

The video explores how owl wings, known for their quiet flight due to special feathers, can inspire sound dampening technology. By mimicking the owl's feather structure, researchers have developed prototypes for wind turbine blades that reduce noise by 10 decibels. This concept could potentially be applied to aircraft, making them significantly quieter. The video highlights the potential of using natural designs to solve technological challenges.
