Abstract

We have chosen articles from recent issues of Nature that explore ways to mimic and improve materials and processes found in nature. Some of the work has progressed toward industrial applications (e.g. using biocatalysts for selective organic syntheses), whereas other approaches (e.g. designing self-healing material) are still in their infancy but show remarkable promise for future success.
