Here you can read all about the new interdisciplinary area of science called biomimetics (or bionics/biomimecry).
Biomimetics is about developing new technology inspired by nature. On this site you can, apart from news about research and new technological progress in the field, also read about the history behind biomimetics and the success stories so far.
Biomimetik.dk was launched in the summer of 2007 and is run Dr. Thomas Hesselberg, who has been involved with biomimetic research during his doctoral work at The Centre for Biomimetics and Natural Techonologies at the University of Bath in the U.K., through postdoctoral positions at the Biofutures group at the University of Ulm in Germany and the Oxford Silk Group at the University of Oxford.
This site is primarily targeted to a Danish audience and as such the majority of content is in Danish. However, with time the ambition is to translate more and more content into English.
For articles in English on general research to biological sciences including biomimetics please visit Life-of-Science.net.
