Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Vincenzini (World Academy of Ceramics, Italy) et al. bring together 12 papers presented by researchers working in biomedical materials, engineering, biology, zoology, and other areas in Europe, Brazil, and Asia at Symposium H, "Mining Smartness from Nature," of CIMTEC 2012, the Fourth International Conference on "Smart Materials, Structures and Systems," held in Montecatini Terme, Italy, in June 2012. Papers focus on biomimetic materials, sensors, actuators, systems, and flow control, such as those to mimic bone architecture in a metallic structure or the anistropic behavior of natural porous structures, materials imitating the cricket cercal system, actuator-like hydrogels based on conductive chitosan, bio-inspired active electrolocation sensors, numerical simulations of the mechanism of hovering insects, biomimetic wings, and other topics.
