Difficulty Level Normal
Audience Level General
Description Applications are determined by structures. In this course, students are taught to be informed about structures in nanoscales.
Overview
Structures have a great deal of influence on materials’ properties, and properties leads to find out materials’ application.

 On top of that, in nanoscale, materials are manipulated to reach a specific structure for new applications. In one sense nanostructures are classified as zero, one, two and three dimensional structures. In addition, carbon nanostructures, porous materials, organic nanostructures and natural nanostructures are known classifications.

Booklet
Description
 After a brief introduction, it talks about architecture in nature and with nature. It gives some examples of real-world architecture, talks about architecture from nature, and bionics.
Mental Challenge
 Does biomimetic mean that this technology mimics biology?
Quizzes and Activities

Activity: Find an example of biomimetic in technology and explain it.
