Gathering inspiration from nature for the design of new materials, products and processes is a topic gaining rapid interest among scientists and engineers. In this review, we introduce the concept of nature-inspired chemical engineering (NICE). We critically examine how this approach offers advantages over straightforward biomimicry and distinguishes itself from bio-integrated […]
Paper, Biomimicry: 9 Ways Engineers Have Been ‘Inspired’ by Nature
What is Biomimicry you ask? Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. In short, biomimicry is the process of taking the innovations that exist in nature and applying them to technology. Believe it, or not, some of the […]
