A group of engineers believes people can build better sonar systems by borrowing features from one of mother nature's masters: the bat. Rolf Müller, a mechanical engineer at Virginia Tech, has been ...

It often pays to borrow a page from nature's playbook. Just look at the UC Berkeley scientists who recently made headlines with their cockroach-inspired robot. "Often nature's most revolting animals ...

Biomimetics, the discipline devoted to the bio-inspired engineering of things and processes, could potentially hold the keys to solving Bitcoin’s scaling problem. Biomimetics, the discipline devoted ...

Researchers have developed a range of synthetic biomimetic compounds to replace the relatively expensive natural NADH and NADPH coenzymes in enzymatic conversions of industrial relevance. They show ...

Biomimetics is the process of taking ideas from nature and using them in engineering design. It uses mimicry of nature and wildlife's adaptations to the different environments and conditions to create ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

The report runs an in-depth analysis of market trends, key players, and future opportunities. In general, the Medical Biomimetics Market growth of 7.6% comprises a vast array of, Type, Application, ...

Robotics engineers found a way to help robots navigate through very tight spaces by attaching a shell that mimics the shape of one of nature's most resilient but most reviled creatures: the cockroach.

Michelle Oyen receives funding from the United States Army Corps of Engineers on tough biomimetic materials. As the world grapples with climate change, we urgently need to find ways of reducing our ...
