Description Structures have a great deal of influence on materials’ properties. On the other hand, structures are formed through the process of production. Thus, process, structure and property are interrelated factors in selecting a material for a specific function. Being familiar with structures plays a crucial role in nanotechnology. In this course we will be able to know some kinds of nanoscale structures.
Overview
In this course, natural nanostructures including carbon nanostructures and bioinspired intelligent nanostructures are taken into account. Natural structures in nanoscale trigger new materials with incredible applications. They are one of the attractive and impressive subjects in nanotechnology.  After this course students will be familiar with applications that are inspired by natural structures.

Booklet
Description
 In matter world, all materials have 3 dimensions. If we rub a material from one dimension, bellow 100 nanometer,we reach a 2-dimension material, like sheets. Then if we rub from another dimension, we reach to one-dimension mater, like rods. If we rub the material from third dimension, we reach zero-dimensional materials. In nanoworld we categorize nanostructures in zero-dimensional, one-dimensional and 2-dimensional structures.
Mental Challenge
 What is zero-dimensional material? 
Quizzes and Activities
 Activity: With your play dough make zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional structures.
