Nipple reconstruction is the last stage in the cosmetic reconstruction of the breast after mastectomy, but no method produces reliable and consistent aesthetic results. This study examined the use of the Biodesign Nipple Reconstruction Cylinder (NRC) during the reconstruction of the nipple after mastectomy.
Patients with a history of breast […]
This article is about a Kingfisher inspired Bullet Train. The design inspired from the kingfisher’s long beak and head allow for the train to move at extremely high speeds. Robertson goes into more detail on the bioinspiration throughout.

A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in the United Arab Emirates and the U.S. has discovered the mechanism that allows lizards to maintain a tail during normal activities and then to release it when they need to avoid predators.
Researchers at Harvard and Emory University created a biohybrid fish using paper, plastic, gelatin, and two muscle layers. These muscle layers were created from human cardiac cells. The design of the model fish was based on zebra fish, with a muscle layer on either side of the […]
