In their quest to develop materials that ... new ideas for biologically inspired biomaterials, our researchers often visit museums, talk to zoologists and watch nature documentaries,” says ...

Enhance your space with natural textures like wood and stone, as well as nature-inspired shapes and patterns. Embrace ...

"Most traditional scaffolds have been on materials that have been inspired by nature, but here, we are taking that concept and applying it to what we call functional materials," Rutz said.

A humanised space is one that settles you down with your own self, rather than pulling you away. It’s about connecting us to ...

Charging forward at top speed, a garden snail slimes up 1 millimeter of pavement per second. By this logic, Beckman Institute ...

The success of the nature-inspired design also suggests that engineers may have significantly more to learn from the design of natural materials. "Combining different types of materials and adding ...

Transforming your home into a nature-inspired paradise is simpler than you think. Biophilic design integrates natural ...

Examples of bioinspired materials are light-harvesting photonic materials that mimic photosynthesis, structural composites that imitate the structure of nacre, and metal actuators inspired by the ...

But while auxetic materials have useful properties, their low stiffness and limited energy absorption capacity limits their applications. The team’s nature-inspired double lattice design is ...
