Biomimetics

Abstract

Bioinspired systems, technologies and techniques known as 'biomimetics' or the 'mimicry of nature,' represent a ground-breaking method of scientific research based on innovation and a creative design approach of the '˜nature' laboratory to be applied to any scientific discipline. This approach and the associated way of thinking facilitates the cross-fertilization of scientific fields, integrating biology and the interdisciplinary knowledge featuring the evolution of models that have refined in nature within any scientific discipline.
