The Chemistry of Bionics and Biomimetics (review article)

The study of functions, characteristics and phenomena observed in the living beings, in order to apply such knowledge in the conception of new techniques and in the creation of new devices and machines. Having parts of the body that are electronic, and therefore able to do things that are not possible for normal humans. For such conception of knowledge we use two terms Bionics and Biomimetics. Bionics is Application of biological information to machines: the study of biological function and mechanics, and their application to machine design. Use of electronically operated replacement organs: the use of electronic devices to replace damaged limbs and organs, the study and the construction of systems that function like (part of) living beings. Biomimicity is imitating their models, or valorizing their knowledge, or changing the paradigm of just extracting, by learning from nature, or by doing the things in the way that nature does. Now these knowledge is grown unto; developing tissue and organ in the lab, creating artificial human, and increasing the live of the human being or even live forever.
