Almost all living organisms are uniquely adapted to the environment in which they live, some so well that researchers investigate them with the view to replicating their natural designs in products and technologies for human-use. This process, called biomimetics or biomimicry, is the exciting arena where nature and engineering meet.  An example of this are cicadas and dragonflies whose wings are coated with tiny pointed … Continue reading Nano-biomimetic artificial cornea set to move from proof-of-concept to preclinical trials.
