The quest for developing an ideal suture material prompted our interest to develop a novel suture with advantageous characters to market available ones. From natural origin only silk, cotton and linen fibers are presently available in market as non-absorbable suture biomaterials. In this study, we have developed a novel, cost-effective, and […]
Classified as a form of bio manufacturing, this new film was designed based on biology in nature and will be used in everyday technology such as TVs, laptops, and smartphones starting this year. It was created through the natural fermentation of substances, similar to the natural process used to make bread […]
The Biomimicry Institute was founded in 2006 by Janine Benyus and Bryony Schwan to share nature’s design lessons with the people who design and make our world. We began by working directly with educators from K-12, university, and non-formal (museums, zoos, aquariums) environments to naturalize biomimicry in the educational system, and […]
A special glass coating, inspired by spider webs, has been used in the UK for the first time. “A friend of the owner of the company saw an article about the Orb-weaver spider,” said the firm’s export manager Natalie Kopp. “Its web reflects UV light protecting it […]
In December 2019, a novel pneumonia caused by a previously unknown pathogen emerged in Wuhan, a city of 11 million people in central China. The initial cases were linked to exposures in a seafood market in Wuhan.1 As of January 27, 2020, the Chinese authorities reported 2835 confirmed cases in mainland […]
The US army is looking into creating a new “smart” camouflage that mimics the rapidly changing skin colour and patterns of cephalopods. Cephalopods (cuttlefish, octopus, and squid) match their surroundings and warn off attackers with their inspiring camouflage. Their skin has 18-30 muscle fibres that can rapidly change how much pigment […]
At Stanford Biodesign, we bring the world’s most promising minds into our circle to investigate, inspire, and innovate a healthier world for all. We offer a portfolio of educational programs to engage both aspiring and experienced innovators in the important challenge of reinventing health care with the help of technology. Each […]
Abstract: Growth of ice on surfaces poses a challenge for both organisms and for devices that come into contactwith liquids below the freezing point. Resistance of some organisms to ice formation and growth, eitherin subtidal environments (e.g. Antarctic anchor ice), or in environments with moisture and cold air (e.g. plants, intertidal) […]
Our research focuses on borrowing inspiration from nature to design automated systems with lifelike capabilities. For example, inspired by creatures like the starfish, we are designing soft robots composed of compliant materials. Likewise, inspired by fabrication in nature, from the small scale (proteins) to the large scale […]
