Learning from nature to reconcile economic upgrading with biodiversity conservation? Biomimicry as an innovation policy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
One of the most important challenges of the 21st century is the quest for development models that enable to sustain livelihoods while respecting the planet’s ecology. Rather than imposing our industrial systems on nature, why not let nature influence our

Biomimicry levels as design inspiration in design

open access: yes, 2022
The relationship between design and nature has been intertwined for the past 400 years. Throughout history, designers have adopted nature to build shapes, forms, and ornamentation without understanding nature's behavior biomimicry.

Feasibility Study of Adaptation of Biomimicry Approach in Green Building

open access: yes, 2020
This paper deals with adaptation of Biomimicry strategies in building to make it environmentally sustainable. Biomimicry is the innovative approach which emulates the design principles of Flora and fauna as the genesis of the design.

Biomimicry for coastal eco-cities: towards a carbon neutral Dover, UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In 2004, the 30-year update to the 1972 report ‘The Limits to Growth’ has reiterated the Malthusian proposition that current industrial practices could lead to a sudden and uncontrollable decline in population and industrial capacity.

Using Biomimicry to Support Resilient Infrastructure Design

open access: yes, 2020
Infrastructure must be resilient to both known and unknown disturbances. In the past, resilient infrastructure design efforts have tended to focus on principles of robustness and recovery against projected failures.

Advances in 3D Bioprinting for Breast Cancer Modeling: Tumor Microenvironment, Metastasis, and Drug Screening

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Three‐dimensional bioprinting transforms breast cancer modeling from simple constructs into spatially organized, multicellular, perfused, and patient‐derived platforms. This review shows how bioinks, cellular composition, architecture, and flow govern tumor behavior and drug response, while revealing why complexity alone is insufficient without ...

Polyproline: A Synthetic Polypeptide With Unique Properties

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Poly‐L‐proline is a unique polypeptide distinguished by its well‐defined secondary structures and unusual thermal behavior. This mini review highlights recent advances in the synthesis of poly‐L‐proline by N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization, the formation of structurally defined architectures and nanostructures, and emerging strategies that ...

Advances and Perspectives in Graphene‐Based Quantum Dots Enabled Neuromorphic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Graphene‐based QDs are zero‐dimensional carbon nanomaterials with pronounced quantum confinement and tunable electronic structures. Herein, we summarize their synthesis strategies and functionalization methods, and highlight their functional roles and operating mechanisms in devices, as well as recent advances in neuromorphic electronics. We anticipate

In Situ Programmable Modulation of Hydrogel Stiffness for Stage‐Adaptive Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Near‐infrared (NIR) irradiation triggers Ca2+ release from thermoresponsive nanocarriers, enabling in situ stiffening of an adaptive hydrogel from a soft to a stiff state, thereby sequentially supporting mesenchymal stromal cell stemness and osteogenic differentiation for stage‐adaptive bone regeneration.
