Paleomimetics: A Conceptual Framework for a Biomimetic Design Inspired by Fossils and Evolutionary Processes

open access: yesBiomimetics, 2022
In biomimetic design, functional systems, principles, and processes observed in nature are used for the development of innovative technical systems. The research on functional features is often carried out without giving importance to the generative ...

Quantitative micro‐XRF combined with X‐ray imaging reveals correlations between Zn concentration and dentin tubule porosity across entire teeth

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
The combination of calibrated micro‐CT and quantitative micro‐XRF measurement facilitates the correlation of density and composition in the 3D macro‐structure of teeth. Zn concentration in dentin increases by a factor of 10 toward the pulp. Incidentally, the overall density decreases, showing an association between Zn and the dentin tissue porosity ...

The Cuttlebone Blueprint for Multifunctional Metamaterials: Design Taxonomy, Functional Decoupling, and Future Horizons

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 36, 4 May 2026.
Cuttlebone‐inspired metamaterials exploit a septum‐wall architecture to achieve excellent mechanical and functional properties. This review classifies existing designs into direct biomimetic, honeycomb‐type, and strut‐type architectures, summarizes governing design principles, and presents a decoupled design framework for interpreting multiphysical ...

Bioinspired Sensory Transduction for Magnetic Profile Recognition and Encryption

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
Magnetic sensing in nature relies on dynamic transduction pathways, yet synthetic counterparts remain limited. We introduce a bioinspired system that couples electromagnetic induction in moldable magnetic soft composites with machine learning to encode and decode static (shape, rheology, magnetization) and dynamic (magnetization decay) magnetic ...
