"2022 SP Team 32"
In the past, scientists have struggled to design quadruped robots that are both adaptable and able to fit into narrow spaces. To combat this issue, a team of researchers have taken rats as their source of inspiration for a new tiny biomimetic robot capable of executing various actions and carrying payloads, […]
UCLA Biodesign is pioneering healthcare innovation. Uniting stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem, UCLA Biodesign seeks to transform medicine through the development of novel technologies. Education and training are central to UCLA Biodesign’s mission. UCLA Biodesign works with industry partners and the medical community to advance solutions that deliver improved value and […]
In the orb-weaving spider Larinioides sclopetarius, hearing is not constrained by the organism’s body but is extended through outsourcing hearing to its extended phenotype, the proteinaceous, self-manufactured orb web. We find that the wispy, wheel-shaped orb web acts as a hyperacute acoustic antenna to capture the sound-induced air particle movements that […]
Open Job Opportunity: Web Design Manager (APPLICATIONS DUE APRIL 8)
The Biomimicry Institute hosts AskNature.org, a Youth Design Challenge to support project-based education; a Biomimicry Launchpad to incubate new biomimicry ideas; the Ray of Hope Prize® to scale biomimetic companies; and a Biomimicry Global Network that connects innovators across the world.

The paper discusses the significance of the newly designed voltage dependent calcium channel blockers. These channels facilitate the conversion of membrane electrical signals into Ca 2+ influx. This process helps in scenarios ranging from muscle contraction to synaptic transmission. These channel blockers are very important in aiding […]
Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and the discovery of new drugs for cancer therapy is one of the most important objectives for the pharmaceutical industry. Snake venoms are complex mixtures containing different peptides, proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates and other bioactive molecules, which are secreted by […]
The Biomimicry Institute is thrilled to recruit for the Youth Design Challenge (YDC) Manager position. The YDC is a hands-on project based learning experience that provides classroom and informal educators with an engaging bio-inspired framework to introduce bio-inspired design and an interdisciplinary lens on science, engineering, and environmental literacy. YDC gives […]
MIT ocean and mechanical engineers are using advances in scientific computing to tackle challenges such as microplastics, algae blooms, coral bleaching, and rising temperatures.
The team is developing and using numerical simulation approaches to explore the design space for underwater devices that have an increase in […]
Fellows work to address real-world challenges, engage with communities to understand needs, and develop viable solutions alongside industry and community partners through design. The Fellowship’s learner-centered approach allows students to co-design their experience from crafting course content to sourcing future projects and collaborators. Two main tracks for fellows are Health and […]
Most wood glues use formaldehyde, which is toxic and not sustainable. “When these formaldehyde-based adhesives are used in the production of plywood and particle board, formaldehyde is released in a process called off-gassing,” which can cause irritation and affect the long-term health of people with frequent exposure. […]
