| dc.description.abstract | Methods and designs of mimicry taken from nature and biology and implemented in photonic science and engineering are presented. Order of geometrical features and process based on the symmetry, and harmony, are given. Symmetry and harmony give rise to beautiful geometrical structures in nature and biology, and engineers have been trying to copy and apply these into various devices. A selection of examples of mimicry are presented based on light-matter interaction and its application in health sciences. Two basic mimetic approaches are identified; the first, “mirror mimicry” (reflection), when photons and electrons have the same energy values and reflected photons (without matter damage) give information about the state of matter. The second “absorbed mimicry” (absorption), when electrons of matter absorb photons and change the state of matter according to the order of photons. The first approach is used for matter characterisation and diagnostics in medicine, while the second one is used for therapy. Brewster mirror effect of light-matter interaction is used for tissues diagnostics, while nano photonic devices based on molecule C60 have been used for therapy. This is due to the symmetrical similarity of C60 and collagen, microtubules, centrioles and water molecules around biomolecules. In order to test both approaches we have made and tested nano photonic devices on skin, scars, burns, cancers, etc. According to our investigation, the symmetries of structure and the harmonies of processes in nature and biology are direct consequences of process optimization; mass-energy, energy-information and information-control. The same principles of symmetry and harmonisation should be implemented, via mimicry, into future process and machine development since this will lead to greater system optimization. | sr |
