On April 6, the CAS Institute of Zoology and the CAS Institute of Biophysics jointly held a symposium on the bionics in Beijing. Experts with varied research backgrounds were invited to give talks on a wide spectrum of the issue ranging from decision-making strategy of organisms, bionic materials with super-hydrophobicity to biological language communication and insect wing bionics. 80 or so scientists from 13 research institutions and universities participated in the symposium. Several scientists initially bolstered to seek new bionic approaches as coworkers at the meeting.
The science of bionics mainly deals with constructions, processes and developmental principles of biological systems and investigations with regard to exploiting the natural experiences for the technical solution of problems.
