Figure 1: The five Platonic solids and the 13 Archimedean solids. We formulate the problem of generating dense packings of non-overlapping polyhedra within an adaptive fundamental cell subject to ...

There are only 13 “Archimedean solids” – a family of symmetrical, 3D polyhedra attributed to the Greek mathematician. Now chemists have made a molecule-scale version of one of these special structures ...

As well as super-shrinking everyday gadgets such as motors, molecules have also been massaged into shapes that are more mathematical than practical. Michael Ward of New York University and colleagues ...

In the Introduction and in the Figure 4 legend of this letter, it was stated that the truncated tetrahedron is the only Archimedean solid that is not centrally symmetric. The correct statement is that ...
