Biomimicry
The life digital
As the world gears up to embrace a sustainable future, scientists are mimicking biological systems to find solutions to disparate problems.
New lease of life
Engineers are looking at a great model for design that had been ignored for centuries: life.
Smart materials inspired by nature
From squids to leafhoppers, mimicking biological systems helps researchers develop sustainable composite materials and coatings.
The soft robo-touch
With lessons from vines and jellyfish — and aided by 3D printing — scientists are making shape-shifting advances in soft robotics.
