DESCRIPTION:Bioinspiration and Biomimetics: How animals and plants inspire 
 new engineering materials and devices\n\nHumans have looked to nature for 
 inspiration from the time they started to make tools and machines. Famous 
 examples include Leonardo Da Vinci’s flying machines inspired by birds\, o
 r George de Mestral’s hook and loop fasteners (Velcro) inspired by “sticky
 ” burrs. Materials produced by nature are in many ways superior to their m
 an-made counterparts\, and they can teach many lessons to engineers. Today
 \, researchers in biology\, zoology\, physics\, chemistry\, materials scie
 nce and engineering are working to create materials which are inspired by 
 nature (bioinspired and biomimetic materials). This display shows five rec
 ent examples of bioinspired structures and materials.\n\nExhibit designed 
 and assembled by Francois Barthelat (Laboratory for Advanced Materials and
  Bioinspiration\, McGill University) with assistance from Ingrid Birker an
 d Anthony Howell (Redpath Museum)\, Roberto Martini\, Zhen Yin\, Anand Bar
 thelat and Shaan Barthelat. Material samples were provided by the Laborato
 ry for Advanced Materials and Bioinspiration by Professor Sylvain Deville 
 (Laboratoire de synthèse et fonctionnalisation des céramiques\, CNRS / Sai
 nt-Gobain\, Cavaillon\, France)\; Professor Michael Porter (Department of 
 Mechanical Engineering\, Clemson University\, USA) and Professor André Stu
 dart (Complex Materials group\, ETH Zurich\, Switzerland). Natural history
  samples from Redpath Museum collections.\n
