Research from RMIT University in the Area of Robotics - Biomimetics Described

摘要

2011 MAY 16 - (VerticalNews.com) -- A report, 'Cationic amino acids specificrnbiomimetic silicification in ionic liquid: a quest to understand the formation of 3-D structures inrndiatoms,' is newly published data in Plos One. "The intricate, hierarchical, highly reproducible,rnand exquisite biosilica structures formed by diatoms have generated great interest to understandrnbiosilicification processes in nature. This curiosity is driven by the quest of researchers tornunderstand nature's complexity, which might enable reproducing these elegant naturalrndiatomaceous structures in our laboratories via biomimetics, which is currently beyond therncapabilities of material scientists," investigators in Melbourne, Australia report.
