The Tale of the Cryostream

Mike Glazer

40 years ago, a new device appeared that made low-temperature X-ray crystallography possible with ease. I am, of course, referring to the so-called “Cryostream”.

Interesting packings of spheres in cubic space groups (3). From icosahedra to the loosest Heesch-Laves packing

Zbigniew Dauter
Mariusz Jaskólski

In our previous essay on cubic packings of spheres (Dauter & Jaskolski, 2026), we introduced the loosest Heesch-Laves (HL, 1933) packing and analyzed its symmetry.
