About Biomimetics

Aims

Biomimetics (ISSN 2313-7673) is an open access journal regarding biomimicry and bionics, dedicated to research that relates to the most basic aspects of living organisms and the transfer of their properties to human applications. The journal aims to provide a forum and a survey for researchers and professionals in the fields of materials science, mechanical engineering, nanotechnology and biomedicine interested in exploiting biologically inspired designs in engineering systems, technology and biomedicine aimed to developing novel solutions that enable sustainable innovation.

Scope

Biomimetics invites submissions on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Biomimetic mechanisms and design
• Biomimetic robotics
• Biofabrication and characterization
• Biomimetic and bioinspired chemistry
• Bioinspired sensing
• Nanotribology, nanomechanics, micro/nanoscale studies on biological systems
• Biomimetics inspired by animal and plant biomechanics
• Synthetic and biohybrid systems
• Self-organization and cooperative behavior
• Biomimetic aspects of tissue engineering
• Bioinspired, biomedical and biomolecular materials

Biomimetics welcomes submissions from a global, multidisciplinary scientific community. Contributors should be mindful of the field’s interdisciplinary nature and clearly define any technical or field-specific terminology. Additionally, manuscripts should explicitly state their contribution to the advancement of biomimetics in the Introduction Section.
