Rationale for Biomimetic Materials Design
Biomimicry can take lessons regarding the secret laws that govern the perfect machines of our biological systems. Biomimetic materials are developed, thus, to emulate and replicate one or more attributes of a living organism, to restore a natural function, or to sustain an environment in terms of chemistry, processing, and structure of materials.

Design of Bismuth Metal Anodes for Sodium-/Potassium-Ion Batteries
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have drawn widespread attention for application in large-scale accumulation energy because of their plentiful resources and lower cost. However, the lack of anodes with high energy density and long cycle lifetimes has hampered the progress of SIBs and PIBs. Bismuth (Bi), an alloying-type anode, on account of its high volumetric capacity and cost advantage, has become the most potential candidate for SIBs and PIBs. Nevertheless, Bi anodes undergo significant volume strain during the insertion and extraction of ions, resulting in the crushing of structures and a volatile solid electrolyte interface (SEI).

Bioceramic Materials Used in Regenerative Dentistry
To improve the oral and dental health of the population, regenerative dentistry is a very promising approach that aims both to prevent oral–dental deterioration and to restore the anatomy and functionality of diseased teeth. To this end, it draws on new advances in procedures based on cell biology and new biomaterials. Synthetic biomimetic materials, and particularly bioceramics are undoubtedly fundamental elements in the development of these advanced dental therapies, as the calcium phosphate type formulations are the natural bioceramic components of dental and bone tissues. To this must be added the breakthrough achieved with the new silica-based bioactive ceramic compositions, capable of stimulating biological mineralization processes.
