Wireless networks and hearing aids. – It’s possible that the wireless network you’re watching this video on right now was inspired by a frog. To be precise, the Japanese Tree Frog. Robots and golf shoes – Medical researchers at the University of Leeds were working on building a camera robot small enough to enter your body. Razors – Although humans are the only animals that shave, frogs are inspiring new leaps forward in razor design . Frogs move around easily on wet surfaces without slipping. Delivery drones – OK, enough about frogs’ feet. It’s time to talk about frogs’ tongues. Frogs have amazingly powerful tongues.

However, this could soon become a thing of the past, thanks to our friend, the frog. Graphenes – Graphenes are layers of carbon material the thickness of an atom, known for their super strength and conductivity. They’re used in making microchips and solar cells. Graphenes are grown on silicon grids using a copper catalyst.
