- A crystal as beautiful as a diamond
- Why are diamonds so shiny and beautiful? A Japanese mathematician says it's because of their unique crystal structure and two key properties, called 'maximal symmetry' and 'strong isotropic property.' According to the American Mathematical Society AMS, he found that out of all the crystals that are possible to construct mathematically,...
