| Abstract Scope |
We review our most recent observations on biological systems with having exciting characteristics. Four examples are highlighted: the reversible movement of pine cone scales; the active defense mechanisms of the Paraguay River armored catfish; the feathers of birds and their rectangular cross section; the laminated/tubular structure of the horse hoof. For each of these systems, we present the results of bioinspired designs and indicate a road to bioinspiration. Research funded by the National Science Foundation Grants 1926353 and 1926361 and Air Force Office of Scientific Research MURI (AFOSR-FA9550-15-1-0009). |
