Bio-Inspired Materials - Mining the Old Literature for New Ideas

[摘要]：Historical scientific books describe a wealth of organisms that could be useful to materials scientists in search of "bio-inspiration". Very often these books are not written in English, and are not easy for the materials science community to access. We propose that translating and re-editing such books or making them available electronically could be of extreme value to present-day researchers.
