RFID Copying Nature

"As the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun. Still, it is prudent to look at what went before and to avoid reinventing the wheel. This is particularly true of nature. Biomimetics is the mimicking of nature to create manufactured products. In RFID it is not new but there is much more to come and nature has lessons for those going in the wrong direction. Animals identify each other using many forms of mark and emission, including features that glow in the dark. Interesting then that Brady has recently announced RFID tags that fluoresce. Velcro was invented when someone saw hooked seeds sticking to his socks and it is used on RFID wristbands, used, for instance, by UPS drivers for vehicle access." Source: idtechex.com
