ABSTRACT
The “Geo-inspired” novel concept is proposed, based on using the crystal and bonding characteristics of existing minerals to devise novel man-made materials. It is also used to address grand challenges in designing next generation functional materials such as new ultra-hard materials and layered oxides. Extension is proposed for identifying exotic chemical systems, in order to further stress its generality.
