👉 Bionics is a subfield of bioengineering that focuses on using biological systems to create artificial organs, tissues, and living structures. It was first introduced in the 1950s by scientists such as John E. Bock, who developed a method for creating "bionic" limbs from human bone tissue. The term has since been applied to various types of artificial organs, including prosthetics, heart valves, and even brain implants.
