In their new study, they demonstrate the synthesis of a high-quality boride ceramic powder with a unique Archimedean polyhedral shape. Here’s how they did it. Creating the perfect ceramic powder.

Up to now only two of five possible polyhedra have been established for this co-ordination, namely, a trigonal dodecahedron and an Archimedean square antiprism 1, while cube, triangular face ...

There are only 13 "Archimedean solids". Now a molecule-scale version of one of these structures could help create substances that wouldn't otherwise form.
