Aime & Scopes
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
The journal is aimed at a broad scientific and international audience across a wide spectrum of disciplines from the biological and physical sciences. Therefore, contributions should be written keeping in mind the interdisciplinary nature of the field and specialized terms should be concisely explained.
