1. Think of a materials-related problem in biomedical
engineering, for which there exists no current good
solution: is there something that you wish a material
2. Identify an “Olympian feat” performed by a natural
material (where the term “natural material” is used
consistently with its definition in the section “Intro-
duction – What are Biomimetic Materials?” of this
chapter). The feat could refer to a particularly impres-
sive property or combination of properties exhibited
by the material, and may include consideration of the
the rate at which the field of biomimicry continues to
advance, online searching will be an essential compo-

4. Perform an online search to find out about recent
advances in the design and assembly of nanomotors.
What biomedical applications are envisaged? In what
respects is biomimicry involved – or in what respects
might biomimicry be able to help? Structure your
