These materials have specific physical properties, which give creatures various amazing abilities. Along with development of nanotechnology, it is found that many specific abilities of creatures are related to nanotechnology. Nature keeps on making various creatures with amazing abilities, which is like an advanced chemical factory. These abilities are based on the regular and irregular assembly of basic mass units in the microscales. Researches on these materials will open a new door for bionics at the micro/nanoscales. This paper mainly focuses on the research progress of bio-inspired nanomaterials to give an overview on the design and future of these materials.
