dc.description.abstractVarious functional systems have been developed using artificially constructed structures and synthesized compounds, and the nanotechnology based on them has recently received much attention. However, current nanoscale technologies are still highly inferior to those seen in natural systems. The efficiency of the energy conversion that occurs in mitochondrial and photosynthetic systems far exceeds that obtained in artificial systems. A dog can smell and a bat can hear far more sensitively than most artificial sensors. The information processing exhibited by the brain and nervous systems is much more sophisticated than that exhibited by current computers. Nature developed superior nanotechnologies to our own several billion years ago. Therefore, the use of biomaterials for the development of various functional systems can be a very practical approach to reaching several goals in current nanotechnologies.
