- Bioinspired structure involves analyzing the special structrues and wettability of plants or animals found in nature, such as lotus leaves, spider and moss, to understand and imitate their mechanisms and structures. These bioinspired structures can be applied in various fields, including AWH (Atmospheric Water Harvesting).
- Lotus-inspired structure allows the implementation of superhydrophobic(self-cleaning) surface. This is known as the lotus effect, made possible by the nano-micro structures on the lotus leaf surface. These nano-micro structures can be implemented using processes such as electrospraying and lithgraphy process.

- Moss-inspired structure allows the high performance of Water harvesting Technology. Moss, unlike other plants, has evolved to have special structures and wettabilities because it must absorb, transport, and store water and nutrients through its body, not roots. By implementaion these unique structures and wettabilities, it can quickly absorb and store various water sources, such as fog, moisture, and rainwater.
