Technologists like [[Jas Johl]] have speculated that the functionality of vacuole cells could be used to design highly adaptable security systems.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://medium.com/@jasjohl/biomimicry-5-security-design-principles-from-the-field-of-cellular-biology-5bb5032909f0|title=BioMimicry: 5 Security Design Principles from the Field of Cellular Biology|first=Jas|last=Johl|date=September 20, 2019|website=Medium}}</ref> "The functionality of a vacuole, a biological structure that guards and promotes growth, illuminates the value of adaptability as a guiding principle for security." The functions and significance of vacuoles are fractal in nature, the organelle has no basic shape or size; its structure varies according to the requirements of the cell. Vacuoles not only isolate threats, contain what's necessary, export waste, maintain pressure—they also help the cell scale and grow. Johl argues these functions are necessary for any security system design.<ref name="auto"/> The [[500 Series Shinkansen]] used biomimicry to reduce energy consumption and noise levels while increasing passenger comfort.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://medium.com/design-voices/looking-deeper-into-biomimicry-how-nature-inspires-design-55c6f881241d|title=Looking deeper into biomimicry: how nature inspires design|first=Skipper Chong|last=Warson|date=January 2, 2018|website=Medium}}</ref> With reference to space travel, NASA and other firms have sought to develop swarm-type space drones inspired by bee behavioural patterns, and oxtapod terrestrial drones designed with reference to desert spiders.<ref>{{Cite web|title=NASA's New Flying Robots: Bee-ing in Space for the First Time|url=http://www.nasa.gov/feature/ames/nasa-s-new-flying-robots-bee-ing-in-space-for-the-first-time|last=Chen|first=Rick|date=2019-04-16|website=NASA|access-date=2020-05-29|archive-date=2021-09-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210907233005/https://www.nasa.gov/feature/ames/nasa-s-new-flying-robots-bee-ing-in-space-for-the-first-time/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
