By imitating information system of organisms - how they restore, extract, transfer and sense - we can create new information systems.

Examples:

• Velcro was invented by a Swiss scientist George da Mistral after realizing how the hooks of the burrs clung to the fur of his dog after a walk.
• Bullet proof vest was transformed from the tenacity of cobweb.
• Based on his observations such as bird flight, Leonardo da Vinci produced novel engineering designs that included flying machines and even helicopter.
• Morphing aircraft wings that change shape of wings based on speed and duration of flight mimic the mechanism used by a species of birds that have different shaped wings according to the speed they fly.
• Some paints and roof tiles are designed based on the mechanism of the lotus leaf surface to be self–cleaning. The leaves of lotus plant not only repel water but also clean themselves. No dirt or mud can stick on it. The paint that provides super hydrophobic surface and dirt particles can hardly get a hold on them and are, therefore, removed by rain or by a simple rinse in water is known as self cleaning – lotus effect paint. The paint when applied to the exterior wall of the building, not only provides a new look always but also keeps the building water-proof by repelling water by its super hydrophobic nature.
• Based on the physical structures in gecko's feet, medical adhesives and Nano–hairs have been developed. Hulls of boats imitates the thick skin of dolphins. Sonar, radar, and medical ultrasound imaging imitates the echolocation of bats.
