Biomimetic Imprinted Polymers - A Guide to Their Possible Applications

Molecularly imprinted polymers are a class of material, designed to have a high affinity for a specific molecule.

Improving Touch & Flow Sensors Through Biomimicry

Biomimetics develops technology by drawing inspiration from nature. We examine how biomimicry has improved touch & flow sensors.

How Insects Have Impacted Sensor Design

For an insect, the ability to sense slight movements can be the difference between life & death. They have been locked for millions of years in an evolutionary arms race with predators.

Optics Inspired by the Eyes of Insects

Unlike humans, who have a single eye and lens, insects have what are called compound eyes. These compound eyes consist of several tiny eyes called ommatidia with one lens each.

What Nanomaterials Exist in Nature?

According to the European Commission, a ‘nanomaterial’ is defined as any type of particle that exhibits one or more external dimensions in the size range of 1 nanometer (nm) to 100 nm.
