Biomaterial Evolution

Biomaterial Evolution is a complex and young discipline concerned with use of heuristic algorithms, and the identification of specific biomolecules to target in a biomaterial, to improve the material's functionality step by step towards having a specific structure and specific properties.

In other words, to evolve a material over time towards having the properties necessary to fill a specific engineering goal.

New approaches to artificial intelligence spring from the idea that intelligence emerges as much from cells, bodies, and societies as it does from evolution, development, and learning. Traditionally, artificial intelligence has been concerned with reproducing the abilities of human brains; newer approaches take inspiration from a wider range of biological structures that that are capable of autonomous self-organisation.
