shark-skin like swimsuit
A new high-performance swimsuit, developed by mimicking the skin of sharks, will be worn by top athletes in Athens from this week.
The revolutionary new fabric, developed by Speedo, is the result of four years of research and development that began with the study of shark skin at the Natural History Museum .
The new swimsuit, called Fastskin FSII, increases a swimmer's speed by reducing passive drag through water by up to 4% more than the next best swimsuit.
Research into shark skin texture and movement through water was carried out under the guidance of Natural History Museum fish expert Ollie Crimmen.
Tiny 'teeth' cover the surface of a shark's skin and the shape and positioning of these 'teeth' vary across the body to manage the flow of water.
With these findings Speedo created a full 'bodyskin' with different fabrics on different parts of the body and for the first time, male- and female-specific and stroke-specific swimsuits.
Excuse me waiter, there’s a shark in my soup
Some 200m years before dinosaurs made their appearance on earth and thus quite some time before Homo sapiens began celebrating nuptials at extravagant wedding banquets, sharks swam the oceans. Sharks are older than trees. They have survived at least four planetary mass extinctions. 在恐龙在地球上出现之前两亿年左右,也就是在现代人(Homo sapiens)开始举办奢华婚宴之前相当久远的时候,鲨鱼们就已经在海洋中游弋。鲨鱼比树还要古老。它们至少经历了四次地球物种灭绝,一直活到了今天。
