Edited by Hossam Haick, the 1st Edition of Nature-Inspired Sensors offers a structured reference on biological sensing principles and their application to synthetic detection technologies. Published by Elsevier, this volume systematically details fundamental mechanisms observed across diverse living creatures, including humans, animals, and plants, connecting biological functions to functional engineered devices.

The text organizes structural attributes alongside physical sensing behaviors across distinct natural systems. Specific structural configurations examined include hierarchical, interlocked, and porous features. These structural patterns give rise to specialized operational properties, including static coloration, self-cleaning, surface adhesion, underwater navigation, electric charge generation, and complex olfactory sensing functions.

This 500-page English reference volume offers essential theoretical and practical context for undergraduates, graduate scholars, academic researchers, and working professionals. It is tailored for practitioners in chemistry, materials science, biomedical science, and environmental science who analyze physical biological models to inform modern sensor development.
