Hand-prothesis with a "bionic" in the product name. In a wider sense a "brain-machine-interface". Link suggested by CM.

While the powerful solvents known as ionic liquids show great promise for liberating fermentable sugars from lignocellulose and improving the economics of advanced biofuels, an even more promising candidate is on the horizon - bionic liquids.

we have to get one of these flying pinguins!!! who knows more about this company? Tobias, these are the same ones that you had shown me I assume?

This is a bit advanced version of our bionics2space.com database. Seems nicely done. Still no opinion about the content, though.

trajectory calculations by no-brainers ... Newton known to primitive fishes? (can we use it for space? :-)

not yet for space'ships' but nice biomimetic research

a pity that they don't show the rat brain also ... anything published available would also be nice ...

Scary... I liked the "Each time the robot has behaved differently" part though :)

Festo - a rather conservative engineering company - tries to be advanced. Some cool ideas though.

Plants have many valuable functions: They provide food and fuel, release the oxygen that we breathe, and add beauty to our surroundings. Now, researchers wants to make plants even more useful by augmenting them with nanomaterials that could enhance their energy production and give them completely new functions, such as monitoring environmental pollutants.
