Summary:
Novel functional nonlinear nanodevices based on ``nature-inspired" and ``bio-mimetic" techniques are discussed. Here, the targeted nanodevices are single-electron devices in particular. The important factor in producing nature-inspired and bio-mimetic circuits or devices is the consideration of how natural world phenomena and biological behavior relate to targeted nanodevices. To construct nature-inspired or bio-mimetic circuits, ``perfect mimicking" and ``rough mimicking" techniques can be used. It is essential for each type of system to have nonlinear oscillators because original systems based on natural phenomena or biological behavior can be represented as nonlinear oscillator systems. Nature-inspired and bio-mimetic single-electron circuits are described as demonstrations. These demonstrations indicate that such circuits based on the proposed approaches are representative of nature-inspired and bio-mimetic circuits and that they will be considered useful and functional devices.
