Abstract:
The living matter is an inexhaustible source of ingenious solutions to a large variety of biological structures and functions the biosystems are endowed with. These optimal solutions are a direct consequence of the competition for resources (food, water, air, and space) and, consequently, of the natural selection permanently exerted during the long evolution of life on Earth. This work presents some examples of such surprising solutions and their transfer from living matter to engineering and medicine. This transfer offers a fertile perspective to future technologies, which are claimed to be cheaper, more efficient, and ecological. Due to human cleverness, some practical bionics products have already overpassed the Nature performance!
