A key focus of many workshop presentations was the role of mechanics in defining new directions in biological and bioinspired material systems. Mechanics plays a fundamental role in understanding the biological fundamental at all scales. We are just beginning to utilize biology and biological techniques to develop new materials and devices that will have broad impacts on engineering. For example, we must strive to learn the mechanism of energy transduction at the biomolecular level and begin to apply it and improve on it for new engineering systems. We need to investigate the hierarchical nano- and microstructure of biological materials (e.g., nacre, bone, wood) and develop new multiscale-designed materials that adopt the deformation and fracturing modes of the biological systems. A cautionary note as we explore this area is that, in engineering applications, both robustness and efficiency are necessary, whereas in biology robustness alone is sufficient. We can become more efficient in designing material systems by borrowing from and learning from biology, but we must exercise caution.
The time is ripe for exploration in this rich area because new experimental and simulation tools are now available to study confine liquids, liquid-solid interfaces, nanostructures, and biomolecules at interfaces. In addition, now there is a great deal of interest in understanding and exploiting molecular biology for applications in materials science and engineering, requiring a unique interdisciplinary partnership that is creating a new group of researchers with knowledge in multiple fields. This presents an opportunity for new discoveries and most likely may lead to significant progress in both science and technology.
Below we first list the unique features of biological and bioinspired materials. These then lead into some of the research examples that were presented in the Workshop.Key open scientific questions are explained and then future directions for research are highlighted. Mechanics researchers will have key contributions to all of the areas listed below. Mechanics must play a leadership role in the development of hierarchically designed bioinspired materials. In addition,mechanics must lead the effort of awakening biologists to the importance of forces and motion that are invariably coupled to the more familiar biochemical processes in biological systems.

it is too long,i'am sorry.
