Above left are"nanobristles" inspired by the surface of sea urchins. Harvard materials scientist Joanna Aizenberg makes them out of resin. Each strand is about 100 nanometers in diameter, or 1000 times thinner than a human hair. Eventually, this stunning example of biomimicry could lead to a new kind of glue or drug delivery system.
