À propos de cet audio
In 1941, Swiss engineer George de Mestral returned from a hike with his dog, both covered in pesky burrs. Curious about their clinginess, he examined them under a microscope and discovered tiny hooks that latched onto fabric loops. This observation sparked the invention of Velcro—a combination of 'velours' (velvet) and 'crochet' (hook) in French.
By mimicking nature's design, de Mestral created a hook-and-loop fastener that's now indispensable in fashion, aerospace, and even medical industries. cableorganizer.com So, next time you zip, snap, or button up, remember the burr that started it all.
