Bioinspiration & Biomimetics

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics publishes research involving the study and distillation of principles and functions found in biological systems that have been developed through evolution, and application of this knowledge to produce novel and exciting basic technologies and new approaches to solving scientific problems. It provides a forum for interdisciplinary research which acts as a pipeline, facilitating the two-way flow of ideas and understanding between the extensive bodies of knowledge of the different disciplines. It has two principal aims: to draw on biology to enrich engineering and to draw from engineering to enrich biology.

The journal aims to include input from across all intersecting areas of both fields. In biology, this would include work in all fields from physiology to ecology, with either zoological or botanical focus. In engineering, this would include both design and practical application of biomimetic or bioinspired devices and systems. Typical areas of interest include:

Systems, designs and structure

Communication and navigation

Cooperative behaviour

Self-organizing biological systems

Self-healing and self-assembly

Aerial locomotion and aerospace applications of biomimetics

Biomorphic surface and subsurface systems

Marine dynamics: swimming and underwater dynamics

Applications of novel materials

Biomechanics; including movement, locomotion, fluidics

Cellular behaviour

Sensors and senses

Biomimetic or bioinformed approaches to geological exploration.
