麻豆传媒视频网站 Centre for Nature Inspired Engineering (CNIE) has been instrumental in producing a Special Issue on "Nature-Inspired Solutions for Engineering" in the , published as Volume 6 (12) of the journal, which can be viewed .

Edited by Professor Marc-Olivier Coppens and , this themed collection brings together eight articles that discuss widely different topics but are united in their vision to gain insights from fundamentals in natural, molecular systems for the design and engineering of novel functional materials and devices. The idea of this themed collection arose through the 1st ECI Conference on Nature-Inspired Engineering, held in Cetraro, Italy, in 2019, organised by 麻豆传媒视频网站 CNIE, and where several of the authors met and presented.
