Repairing an Air Protein Fin in Superior City

City workers conduct the operation of construction A.N.T.s (Autonomous Networked Things) as they repair a carbon capture coil near Superior City. The line between work and play is at best a fuzzy affair in Central Shield. Every citizen is expected to participate as a member of the Central Shield’s Civic Corps. Duties run the range from simple park maintenance to more complicated activities like construction and engineering of the megastructures. In exchange for their contribution to the well being of the city, the S.A.B reimburses each citizen for their efforts with a biweekly civic dividend (a form of universal basic income). This dividend is calculated such that those with the lightest duties and time commitments receive a generous living wage while those who commit more time and expertise are rewarded with larger payments.

New nanonets target, trap, and kill specific bacteria

New nanonets target, trap, and kill specific bacteria The nanonets could be used instead of antibiotics once fully developed. Thoughts health innovators?

The nanonets could be used instead of antibiotics once fully developed. The microscopic nets consist of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), proteins that form a mesh when they detect certain chemicals in the bacterial cell membrane. Once the AMPs have attached themselves to the bacteria via these chemical sites, they attract other peptides, self-organizing to project long, interwoven tendrils to…

A Vision for Biomimetic Construction Materials

Nacre, also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer. It comprises 95% calcium carbonate (aragonite) which, due to its layered microstructure, yields tensile strength, toughness and ductility levels as well as barrier and durability characteristics that far exceed those of monolithic aragonite or artificial inorganic materials such as concrete.

The superior engineering properties of nacre result from its controlled microstructure fored during a biomineralization process. This process involves controlled through-solution crystallization of amorphous materials (mostly calcium carbonate) to form intricate microstructures tailored towards serving structural, protective and other purposes.

Can we learn from biomineralization of nacre to produce improved material for construction of longer-lasting, safer and more sustainable infrastructure systems?

Morphing Aircraft: The Need for Flexible Skin

The morphing aircraft attempts to break out of the confines of rigid structures with the intention of creating vehicles with multiple functional equilibria. The morphing aircraft is a multirole platform that changes its state substantially to adapt to changing operation environments, and is viewed as part of a revolutionary transformation from large, expensive piloted aircraft to smaller, autonomous types with combined roles and increased functionality.

Flexible skins constitute an enabling technology for morphing aircraft. The skin must be able to handle large in-plane deformations and out-of-plane aerodynamic loads while simultaneously carrying some shear loads. There are numerous design concepts that can be used for morphing aircraft, but most designs cannot effectively integrate skins. Elastomers constitute a promising group of materials for flexible skins; they are capable of elastically deforming by very large amounts without permanent changes in shape. The occasional cross-links within elastomers define an original shape which will be restored upon unloading.

Since elastomers are generally insulating, elastomeric skins can become charged in service; they could then behave as a capacitor and discharge in a single event causing considerable damage to the surrounding materials and the electronics on the vehicle. To mitigate electrostatic charge buildup, the surface resistivity of the skin should be lowered below a threshold level, which should be retained even under large elastomeric deformations. The conductivity of the elastomeric skin would also provide a level of protection against lightning strike.

este un ser biomimetica de întinerire faciala, ce intarziere  imbatranirii biologice prin influientarea  gradului de senescenta.

DAIMOND s3H - Ser hialuronic biomimetic, activator hidratant cu  caracter complex antirid, actioneaza pe toate etapele ciclului de viata al colagenului astfel, stimuleaza sinteza colagenului I, II și IV; controleaza dimensiunea fibrelor si inhiba degradarea enzimatica. Astfel, previne principalele cauze ale deterioraii colagenului. Peptidele de matase, asemanatoare cu colagenul uman, sustin oxigenarea si regenerarea celulara, imita si activeaza productia de colagen, revigorează, metabolism celular. Actiunea sinergica a Acidului  Hialuronic tip 1,2 si 3, impreuna cu fractiile ADN si ARN, Polipeptide, liipozomi lamelari si complexele vitaminizant, stimulator si oxigenant, mentine pielea elastica si ferma, trateaza liniile de expresie si ridurile, in special pe cele care au tendinta de a deveni riduri permanente. Previne si modifica procesul de senescenta, are actiune revitalizanta,  antiinflamatoare, antioxidanta si cicatrizanta. Dupa aplicare, reda tenului prospetimea, strălucirea si aspectul tanar. Se pastreaza la frigider.

Biomimetic Robot – Doing Human Lives Simpler and More Advanced

The rapid growth of industrialization has helped in prolonging the lifespan and eliminating sickness however, it has also caused the pollution of our environment and its degradation both of which are threats to the survival of humans. The human race has always attempted to create new inventions to improve living conditions as we advance towards industrialization. However, the physical difficulty of being able to survive on limited resources is threatening humanity's existence. Biomimetics may be a viable solution to these problems like the shortage of resources as well as survival.

Biology is the science of studying natural phenomena to discover their underlying mechanisms. apply these concepts to engineering, science and medicine, and learn insights from the natural world. The term originates from biochemistry and is used to describe many different mechanical and chemical events which range from cell-based activities to functions of the whole organism. Biomimetics is an application of principles from biology to human-made technology, including robots. This "new wave" of robotics as we see it, is driven by two main reasons. First, research in biology has revealed a wealth of information about biological processes which roboticists could utilize in their work. Furthermore, advances in energy-efficient, low-cost computer systems have made it possible for researchers to build robots that replicate marine and insect adaptations to the environment.
