Scientists at Sandia have taken this same approach and started to adapt it to create a synthetic, biomimetic material that will share the animals' ability to colour-shift.

The course of biomaterials mainly includes biochemistry foundation, inartificial biomaterials, biomedical materials, biochemical materials, survey for biomimetic material science.

The high performance inorganic materials synthesized in the biomimetic ways have established the focus of biomimetic synthesis technology in the material chemistry field.
