===Biomimetic approaches===
* [[Bionics]] or [[biomimicry]] seeks to apply biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. [[Biomineralization]] is one example of the systems studied.
* [[Bionanotechnology]] is the use of [[biomolecule]]s for applications in nanotechnology, including the use of viruses and lipid assemblies.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Mashaghi S, Jadidi T, Koenderink G, Mashaghi A | title = Lipid nanotechnology | journal = International Journal of Molecular Sciences | volume = 14 | issue = 2 | pages = 4242–82 | date = February 2013 | pmid = 23429269 | pmc = 3588097 | doi = 10.3390/ijms14024242 | doi-access = free | author3-link = Gijsje Koenderink }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | vauthors = Hogan CM | date = May 2010 | veditors =  Draggan S | url = http://www.eoearth.org/article/Virus?topic=49496 | title = Virus | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130513135007/http://www.eoearth.org/article/Virus?topic=49496| archive-date=2013-05-13|website=Encyclopedia of Earth, National Council for Science and the Environment }}</ref> [[Nanocellulose]], a nanopolymer often used for bulk-scale applications, has gained interest owing to its useful properties such as abundance, high aspect ratio, good [[mechanical properties]], [[renewability]], and [[biocompatibility]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Trache D, Tarchoun AF, Derradji M, Hamidon TS, Masruchin N, Brosse N, Hussin MH | title = Nanocellulose: From Fundamentals to Advanced Applications | journal = Frontiers in Chemistry | volume = 8 | pages = 392 | date = 2020 | pmid = 32435633 | pmc = 7218176 | doi = 10.3389/fchem.2020.00392 | bibcode = 2020FrCh....8..392T | doi-access = free }}</ref>
