A new DARPA-sponsored study says that biomimicry of butterfly wings can help researchers build complex photonic integrated circuits to improve communications technology. “By replicating the complex ...

Windows that prevent bird collisions by mimicking the UV-reflective qualities of spider webs; a train that travels faster, uses less energy and makes less noise after it was redesigned to resemble a ...

Research and innovation in Texas A&M University's biomedical engineering department often centers around clinical impact on patients. Beyond the lab, however, some faculty are finding breakthroughs in ...

With a lot of help from Flipper, scientists have a better shot at understanding phenomena like black holes and supernovae. Bone-Rattling Sound: New Speakers That Are Made From Bone Bones have amazing ...

Biomimicry, which means the imitation of the living, seeks to learn from natural selection and apply those principles to human engineering, putting nature’s lessons into practice using technology. A ...

Biomedical engineers often turn to nature for inspiration, a method known as biomimicry. In her presentation at the recent BIOMEDigital conference, Donna Bibber shared a few examples of how biomimicry ...

In nature, the lead goose in a flying-V formation doesn't stay there for the entire migration. After some time in the lead position — which requires the most energy in flight — other geese fly up to ...

Designers and engineers have often looked to the environment and how Mother Nature has accomplished phenomenal design solutions for inspiration over the ages. Perhaps all that is new about this ...
