	Bionics
		Bionics (also known as Biomimetics, Biognosis or Biomimicry, a short form of Biomechanics - from the Greek word "bios" - pronounced "vios" - which means life, and the word mechanics) is the application of methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology.
		Bionics is a term which refers to flow of ideas from biology to engineering and vice versa.
		Bionics are a common element of science fiction, with The Six Million Dollar Man as the probably best-known example.

	Bionics: The Six Million Dollar Question
		The bionic prosthetics that Austin received made him “better stronger faster,” but the claim that he was “a man barely alive,” in reference to his cyborg existence, also raised poignant and prophetic questions of what it means to be human.
		Bionics is on the cutting-edge of both biology and electronics, and can be explained as the substitution of organic anatomical structures or physiological processes with mechanical or electronic versions designed to replicate or enhance original function.
		Austin, for example, had a bionic eye with a zoom lens and night vision, a bionic arm as powerful as a bulldozer, and two bionic legs that gave him the speed of a cheetah in full flight and the ability to leap over tall buildings in a single bound (or was that Superman?).

	Bionics, Cybernetics and Class
		Bionics – The science of applying electronic principles and devices, such as computers and solid state miniaturized circuitry, to medical problems, such as artificial pacemakers used to correct abnormal heart rhythms.
		The thing that causes so many people to fear cybernetics and bionics is that they for some reason have decided that those imbued with the ability to interface with will ultimately destroy our fragile society.
		I think the real question is whether these bionic additions to our bodies will be considered useful or if instead they will be considered with the same disdain that piercing and tattoos are currently considered in.

		Bionics is the science of fusing artificial parts with human parts in order to duplicate body functions.
		Though most people understand bionics to be the creation of "superhumans," the practical applications are less dramatic, such as hearing aids, artificial limbs, and artificial hearts.
		Bionics evolved in the 1960s as a framework to pursue the development of artificial systems based on the study of biological systems.

	BMBF: Bionics - Learning from Nature
		What is characteristic of bionics is the interdisciplinary approach that is taken when solving application-oriented questions which can by no means be reduced to one-to-one copies of biological models.
		In the past, the broad application of ideas from bionics failed due to the rigid adherence of scientists to their own disciplines and due to the absence of an effective technology transfer between research and industrial application.
		At the same time the bionics network BIOKON is intended to contribute to the establishment of cross-disciplinary networks between companies and public research institutions.
