ATOMIC ARCHITECTURE:
Structural Application
The ordered structure of minerals alters how external forces can act upon them. Studying their structure can inspire the design of architecture and vehicles. Chemical properties of minerals can likewise fuel innovation in materials design. Learning how forces travel through rocks can help us make buildings more resistant to earthquakes. Designers can use minerals’ atomic structure to create computer chips that store more data at lower temperatures. As with any new technology, engineers need to take care to test designs thoroughly before putting them into practice. For example, some forms of the minerals actinolite and tremolite occur as elastic fibers. This mineral habit makes them producers of the fire-resistant insulation asbestos. Though asbestos itself has proven dangerous to human health, it has inspired the development of artificial fiberglass as a replacement for many of its applications.
