At this point, the terms “bio-inspired” or “biomimicry” are near cliché. People have been turning to nature for inspiration to help them solve problems for millennia. Humankind is nature’s ultimate scribe. From buildings and bridges, materials and medicine, and architecture and art, designers, scientists, and engineers continue to study the complex solutions nature has devised to persist, develop, and evolve. The pursuit of life and physical sciences stem from an innate desire to understand how the world works, so it is no surprise that nature is a continuous source of both motivation and mystery. Beyond the artistic, the underlying rules of biology—the chemistry, physics, mechanics—have been difficult tomes to decipher. Recently, learning from nature has been used as a powerful approach to develop emerging materials and structures with new properties and excellent performances.

在这一点上，“受生物启发”或“仿生”一词几乎是陈词滥调。人们一直在寻求自然的灵感，以帮助他们解决千年的问题。人类是大自然的终极抄写员。从建筑物和桥梁，材料和医学到建筑和艺术，设计师，科学家和工程师不断研究自然界旨在维持，发展和发展的复杂解决方案。对生命和自然科学的追求源于对世界运作方式的天生渴望，因此自然成为动机和神秘感的持续来源也就不足为奇了。除了艺术性之外，生物学的基本规则（化学，物理，力学）很难被破译。最近，
