Pursuing a wide variety of practical applications as well as the scientific knowledge they yield, other researchers in
biomimetic robotics have produced mechanical mimics of lampreys, cockroaches, crickets, flies, snakes, dolphins, scorpions, and more.
Believing that replicating the surface structure of a snake's IR pit organs would constitute a significant advancement in optical coatings for IR optics, ML scientists involved in
biomimetic research have given top priority to this endeavor.
The pattern of cleaning a building's wastewaters by using
biomimetic principles is starting to appear and will become more common.
Medical device company Wright Medical Group Inc (NasdaqGS:WMGI) revealed on Friday the completion of the acquisition of
BioMimetic Therapeutics Inc for an upfront purchase price of approximately USD190m in cash and stock.
Which tennis player uses the Dunlop

The EU-funded 5.9 million [pounds sterling] Biotact project,
Biomimetic Technology for vibrissal Active Touch, has nine research partners from seven countries and is being co-ordinated from Sheffield.
"Half the jobs
biomimetic machines will be doing in 10 years don't even have a name right now" says Chuck Pell, director of science and technology for Nakton Research, a Durham, N.C.-based company that's working to develop the next generation of underwater vehicles.
Those crazy little silicon, zinc and carbon molecular products of
biomimetic processes (manmade processes that imitate nature) are buzzing through the boardrooms of cosmetic giants like L'Oreal, Shiseido and Kose, bringing profits with them.
Recent improvements in neutron reflectometry at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), coupled with advances in
biomimetic film fabrication at NIST, afford enhanced sensitivity for the study of membranes and membrane-protein complexes.
