What can we learn from nature? Has evolution found solutions for many of the design problems we might like to solve? How does exploration at the nanoscale help us answer these questions? We will discuss the underlying principles and caveats of biomimicry at the nanoscale through detailed exploration of specific examples. At the end of the module you will propose your own system, justifying its suitability for biomimicry and explaining why a knowledge of properties at the nanoscale would be important for your system.
