Biologically inspired design is attracting increasing interest since it offers access to a huge biological repository of well proven design principles that can be used for developing new and innovative products. Biological phenomena can inspire product innovation in as diverse areas as mechanical […]
As amphibians go, axolotls are pretty cute. These salamanders sport a Mona Lisa half-smile and red, frilly gills that make them look dressed up for a party. You might not want them at your soiree, though: They’re also cannibals. While rare now in the wild, axolotls used to hatch en masse, […]
Abstract:
Besides the life-as-it-could-be driver of artificial life research there is also the concept of extending natural life by creating hybrids or mixed societies that are built from natural and artificial components. In this paper we motivate and present the research program […]
Ecovative pioneered the science of mycelium to grow fully formed structures used in products that replace Styrofoam® and other plastics, leather, and animal agriculture. Today, our Mycelium Foundry has the most complete mycelium library in the world. Using precise systems and a deep […]
“The honeybee tongue, foraging liquid food in nature, has a unique segmented surface covered with dense hairs. Since honeybees are capable of using their tongue to adapt to possibly the broadest range of feeding environments to exploit every possible source of liquids, the surface properties of the tongue, especially the covering […]
In 2019, the BBC World Service launched a 30-part podcast about amazing animals and what we have learned from them. BBC’s 30 Animals That Made Us Smarter brings together the wonders of the animal kingdom with innovation and technology.
Each episode, hosted by biologist Patrick Aryee, lasts between 11 and 20 […]
As Pac-man-shaped Xenobot “parents” move around their environment, they collect loose stem cells in their “mouths” that, over time, aggregate to create “offspring” Xenobots that develop to look just like their creators.

Abstract: The development trend of materials is complex, intelligent and dynamic, and bioinspired materials have all these characteristics. Bioinspired materials development will affect the improvement of human body organ replacements, aircraft, rockets, and other consumer products. The ultimate goal of the field of […]
This paper talks about how technologies are using insects and human eye inspired designs to make technologies that can effectively navigate to mars. They are using these to be able to observe ephemeral phenomena in mars and be able to predict things like “dust storms in real […]
Microplastic particles (MPs) have been identified as a potentially emerging threat to water environment and human health. It is thus an urgent challenge to develop facile and efficient methods for removing MPs from surface water and even ground water. Herein, we report a series of biomimetic gill-inspired membranes (BGIMs) with oblique […]
