Bio-mimetics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Biomimetics (also known as Bionics, biognosis, biomimicry or bionical creativity engineering) is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology”
"taking design ideas from nature"
“Biomimetic refers to human-made processes, materials, devices, or systems that imitate nature.”
WHY NATURE ???????
The Eastgate Center in Harare, ZimbabweInspired by

Materials:
Processing & tools
Fabrication/Manufacturing
Devices & machines
Functions & Mechanisms
Principles
Almost all engineering could be thought of as a form of biomimicry ??
Processing conditions: Wet and soft, room temp.. Directed and coded…………
Devices & Machines
Neuromorphic chips, silicon retinae or coachleae wiring modeled after real neural network
connectivity & functionality
Molecular motors
Cyborg!
In 1959 Feynman gave his famous after-dinner talk describing molecular machines building with atomic precision
“There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom”
“The portal motor for bacteriophage f29 compresses the DNA 6,000 times its normal volume," says Bustamante. "This generates an internal pressure of about 60 atmospheres, which is about ten times that in a champagne bottle.”
