ABSTRACT
Envisioners and designers of nanomedical devices may draw their inspiration from a number of sources. These might include the myriad mechanisms and processes that operate both at macroscale and nanoscale domains in the natural world, which may be interpreted and transformed into functional synthetic analogs via biomimetics. Other inspirational sparks may emanate from purely anthropogenic dreamscapes, which reside within the realms of fantasy and science ction. There is always the chance that completely unexpected serendipitous discovery might arrive from “nowhere” to the utter joy of long toiling recipients who might have been looking for answers for many years in one area, only to have a pivotal insight surprisingly light up, when triggered by a completely unrelated event, as if a gift from some parallel universe that has “crossed over.” Incremental inspirational glimmers, and much more rarely, dramatic brilliant bursts thereof may indeed be gleaned through voluminous thoughtful, disciplined, and deliberate experimentation. From whatever quarter such inspiration may appear, it may be suggested that a certain “cognitive stance” might serve as a useful prerequisite to facilitate and breed the ames of inspiration, creativity, and innovation, which may likely percolate into reality. This attitude might encompass in varying degrees, a blend of excitement and prospective adventure,
