Topologically and chemically unprecendented spherical-icosahedral capsules containing 20 pores and channels and a cavity, allow encapsulation of topologically and chemically unusual matter under confined conditions. This includes the generation and observation of unusual structures, e.g. of water with and without electrolytes and of other materials. Icosahedral water clusters can be generated - formally built up from Platonic and Archimedean solids showing the Golden Section - including the famous dodecahedron which stimulated Linus Pauling to new ideas. Furtheron, topologically interesting tilings of the sphere due to the abundance of pores are possible.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
