Biodiversifying bioinspiration

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2018
Bioinspiration-using insights into the function of biological systems for the development of new engineering concepts-is already a successful and rapidly growing field. However, only a small portion of the world's biodiversity has thus far been considered as a potential source for engineering inspiration.

Bioinspired structural materials

Nature Materials, 2014
Natural structural materials are built at ambient temperature from a fairly limited selection of components. They usually comprise hard and soft phases arranged in complex hierarchical architectures, with characteristic dimensions spanning from the nanoscale to the macroscale.

Bioinspired spring origami

Science, 2018
More than just simple folding Origami involves folding two-dimensional sheets into complex three-dimensional objects. However, some shapes cannot be created using standard folds. Faber et al. studied the wing of an earwig, which can fold in ways not possible using origami and can alter its shape for flight.
