I am a fan of geometry, but beyond a tetrahedron for mapping out three components in a mixture design of experiment, things get too hyper (pun intended) for me as a practical matter. However, I greatly admire the genius chemists who assembled 12 helical macrocycles into a 2,712-atom polyhedral shape called a snub* cube. These “supramolecules,” the first to made in a stereoselective way—vital to human biology, could lead to crucial advances in pharmaceuticals.
If you are exceedingly interested in geometry, handy with scissors, and desire a very cool ‘sky lantern,’ follow the directions in the video for making a snub cube.
*As you may suspect, “snub” refers to a shape with the corners pushed inwards, similar to one’s ego after suffering from a rejection—some of the air gets taken out of you. ; )
