Algorithm reveals ‘magic sizes’ for assembling programmable icosahedral shells at minimal cost

Over the past decade, experts in the field of nanotechnology and materials science have been trying to devise architectures composed of small structures that spontaneously arrange themselves following specific patterns. Some of these architectures are based on so-called icosahedral shells, structures with 20 different triangular phases that are symmetrically organized.
