Editorial

Bionics is a term which refers to the utilization of electronic devices and mechanical parts to assist humans in performing difficult, dangerous, or intricate tasks, as by supplementing or duplicating parts of the body. In other words, bionics is the application of biological approaches and arrangements found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. Avery good example of bionics application in modern day technology is the development of dirt and water repellent coating for windscreens of the cars from the observation that practically nothing sticks to the surface of the lotus flower plant. The self-cleaning ability of lotus plant is amazing. Researchers have studied the micro-structure of the leaves to find out how dirty water is repelled. It turns out that the leaves are covered in lots of tiny spikes that make water unable to wet the leaf surface. Instead the water droplets remain spherical due to surface tension and roll off the leaf, taking any dust and dirt with them. The researchers are trying to make Self-cleaning glass for various applications as suggested above by using nanotechnology to etch lots of small points onto the surface of a glass so that it becomes water and dust repellent just like the leaves of lotus plant. Bionic technologies are becoming a reality, and are integrating with the human body itself. Humans and technology are coming together in a multitude of ways. The bionics industry is developing rapidly, with many frontiers involving the design of multiple diversified bionics applications. The fusion of technology with biological approaches and arrangements found in nature will produce complexities. Many believe that technology will be the way around human evolution. In near future bionics will become a massive force in allowing humans to overcome their physical limitations.

MedCrave Online Journal of Applied Bionics and Biomechanics (MOJABB) is an International, Peer reviewed Journal of advanced technological developments based on the science of biological systems. The journal solicits research papers for its forthcoming issue in all aspects of bionic science and engineering including fundamental understandings of animals and plants for bionic engineering, such as locomotion and behaviors of animals, structures, composites, morphology and physical properties of plants and natural materials, applications of such understandings in engineering, technology and designs. Journal accepts Research Papers, Review Articles, Short Communications, Case Reports, Mini-Reviews, Opinions, Letter to Editors, etc. in this field which will be enlightening the scientific community. On behalf of the editorial team of the journal I invite authors from all over the world to share their innovative research and findings. Further I assure that the contents submitted to MedCrave will enjoy more visibility and will be peer reviewed too. You can submit your works on any topic of your expertise. Journal ensures to share only high-quality content, so there is no room for copied or doubtful content to be published. You can submit work on any topic relevant to science. The content should be unique, original and the presentation must be of potential interest to the readers. You can submit your research articles too. These research papers must be original and must be in the major field of science. The research articles can include the findings and the methodology you used. You can also compile your evidences that lead to your conclusions. So once again I beseech timely submission of research papers for prospective publication in upcoming issue of the journal
