The Vietnamese word "phỏng sinh học" translates to "bionics" in English. Bionics is a field of study that combines biology and technology. It involves creating systems or devices that mimic the functions or structures found in living organisms.
In advanced contexts, "phỏng sinh học" can refer to specific applications such as: - Prosthetics that mimic human limb movement - Robotics that replicate animal behavior - Innovations in materials that imitate natural structures, like lotus leaves’ water-repellent features.
While "phỏng sinh học" primarily focuses on the technological aspect inspired by biology, it does not have widely recognized alternative meanings. However, in casual conversation, it may be used metaphorically to describe any technology that serves a biological purpose.
