***MS.14 Mineralogical crystallography: Nature as a source of inspiration for new materials*

*Chairs:Nikolai Eremin, Rossella Arletti*

****Many important materials that dominate modern technology were first known to mineralogists. On the other hand, mineralogy needs new impacts for further development in the line of modern scientific achievements. The relation between crystal structure and properties of minerals and mineral-related materials is the key for technological benefit, even if this is not obvious when the mineral/compound is discovered.

Contributions covering possible interactions between mineralogy and material science, including all aspects of both disciplines are warmly welcome to this session.
