The still young discipline of ‘bionics’ is one of the most forward-looking research areas at present. Bionics deals with the decoding of “inventions of living nature” and their innovative implementation in technology. On board the ‘MS-Bionics’, the questions and research approaches of this key technology can be actively explored. How can ships be protected from unwanted growth of barnacles, mussels and algae? The search for a solution to so-called ‘biofouling’ is the focus of the interactive research trip.
