At this point, the terms “bio-inspired” or “biomimicry” are near cliche. People have been turning to nature for inspiration to help them solve problems for millennia. Humankind is nature’s ultimate scribe. From buildings and bridges, materials and medicine, and architecture and art, designers, scientists, and engineers continue to study the complex solutions nature has devised to persist, develop, and evolve. The pursuit of life and physical sciences stem from an innate desire to understand how the world works, so it is no surprise that nature is a continuous source of both motivation and mystery. Beyond the artistic, the underlying rules of biology—the chemistry, physics, mechanics—have been difficult tomes to decipher. Recently, learning from nature has been used as a powerful approach to develop emerging materials and structures with new properties and excellent performances. |
