Journal Title：Bioinspiration & Biomimetics

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics publishes research involving the study and distillation of principles and functions found in biological systems that have been developed through evolution, and application of this knowledge to produce novel and exciting basic technologies and new approaches to solving scientific problems. It provides a forum for interdisciplinary research which acts as a pipeline, facilitating the two-way flow of ideas and understanding between the extensive bodies of knowledge of the different disciplines. It has two principal aims: to draw on biology to enrich engineering and to draw from engineering to enrich biology.

The journal aims to include input from across all intersecting areas of both fields. In biology, this would include work in all fields from physiology to ecology, with either zoological or botanical focus. In engineering, this would include both design and practical application of biomimetic or bioinspired devices and systems. Typical areas of interest include:

Systems, designs and structure

Communication and navigation

Cooperative behaviour

Self-organizing biological systems

Self-healing and self-assembly

Aerial locomotion and aerospace applications of biomimetics

Biomorphic surface and subsurface systems

Marine dynamics: swimming and underwater dynamics

Applications of novel materials

Biomechanics; including movement, locomotion, fluidics

Cellular behaviour

Sensors and senses

Biomimetic or bioinformed approaches to geological exploration.

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics 发表的研究涉及对通过进化发展的生物系统中发现的原理和功能的研究和提炼，以及应用这些知识来产生新颖且令人兴奋的基础技术和解决科学问题的新方法。它为跨学科研究提供了一个论坛，作为管道，促进了思想的双向流动和不同学科广泛知识体系之间的理解。它有两个主要目标：利用生物学丰富工程学和利用工程学丰富生物学。

该期刊旨在收录来自两个领域所有交叉领域的意见。在生物学中，这将包括从生理学到生态学的所有领域的工作，以动物学或植物学为重点。在工程中，这将包括仿生或仿生设备和系统的设计和实际应用。典型的兴趣领域包括：

系统、设计和结构

通讯和导航

合作行为

自组织生物系统

自愈和自组装

仿生学的航空运动和航空航天应用

生物形态的地表和地下系统

海洋动力学：游泳和水下动力学

新型材料的应用

生物力学；包括运动、运动、流体学

蜂窝行为

传感器和感官

地质勘探的仿生或生物信息方法。
