       Shrilk
       Shrilk is about as strong and tough as an aluminium alloy, but
       is only half as dense.

       Furthermore, it is cheap to make since chitin is easily made
       from shrimp shells, and biodegradable, so could be used for
       packaging and trash bags. And because it’s very strong and made
       from biological material, “it could be used to suture wounds
       that bear high loads, such as in hernia repair, or as a scaffold
       for tissue regeneration.”

       These human designers certainly did fine work. But they were
       still making a derivative work;[font=times new roman] the real
       brilliance is by the One who made the original. [/font]

       There
       are many more examples of such biomimetics (or biomimicry),
       including more ‘smart materials’—see Scientists copying nature
       (biomimetics).
