Background Since the inception of the term “Biomimetics” in 1991, the concept of utilizing
natural solutions or deriving inspiration from nature to address contemporary engineering …

Exploring bio-inspired nanomaterials (BINMs) and incorporating them into
micro/nanodevices represent a significant development in biomedical applications …

Nature benefits from a progressive evolution over millions of years, always adapting and
finding individual solutions for common problems. Hence, a pool of diverse and efficient …

The evolution of grouping behaviour involves a complex trade-off of benefits and costs.
Among the latter, an increase in the risk of parasitic transmission is a well-documented …

Engineering marvels found throughout the exclusive structural features of biological
surfaces have given rise to the progressive development of skin friction drag reduction …

The lack of limbs on snakes enables its ventral scales to be in almost constant contact with
the substrate. Their skin is presumably adapted to generate high and low friction to slither …

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively examine whether antimicrobial activity varies
with the thickness of the PDLLA nanosheets when placed on a PDMS surface with or without …
