Customizable Crystallographic Building Block
Description
This Is A Structural Construction Kit. It Uses A Natural Set Of Construction Blocks Which Can Fill/Divide Space. These Blocks Are Based On Natural Basic Crystal Structures With High Symmetries. This Makes The Construction Kit More Direction Independent Then Conventional Ones. ### User Defined Blocks: Generate More Building Blocks (& Couplers Bricks) By Entering The Coordinates Of The Local Nearest Neighbours. (Only If The Entered Nearest Neighbours Are Correctly Taken From A Proper Crystal Structure The Resulting Body Will Form A Solitary Space Filler.) | A Web Seach Revealed This Strongly Related Kit: Http://Www.Georgehart.Com/Rp/Fcc.Html ### Science: The Basic Blocks Are The Wiegner-Seitz Cells Of The Following Crystal Lattices Bcc - Body Centered Cubic Fcc Or Ccp - Face Centered Cubic Or Cubic Closed Packed Hcp - Hexagonal Close Packed Some Other Voroni Cells (E.G. One Of A Diamond Atom) Are Also Included ### Future Application: In [Atomically Precise Products](Http://Apm.Bplaced.Net/W/Index.Php?Title=Further_Improvement_At_Technology_Level_Iii) Such Blocks Can Incorporate Diverse Basic Functions And Be Used As Recomposable [Microcomponents](Http://Apm.Bplaced.Net/W/Index.Php?Title=Microcomponent) That Can Form Diverse [Metamaterials](Http://Apm.Bplaced.Net/W/Index.Php?Title=Metamaterial). Choosing These Shapes Might Be Desirable Because Of The Ease To Reason About Them And Their Good Physical Properties. | E.G. In Bcc Cells: Easy Reasoning: * Cube Faces - Kartesian * Octahedral Faces - Normal To Diamond Bonds (Choosing A Main Crystal Orientation For The Housing Structure Might Be Sensible) | Good Properties: * Not Too Anisotropic * Edges Have No Sharp Only Oblate Angles * Surfaces Of Aggregates Form Pockets So Van-Der-Waals Assembly Can Easily Be Used (Van-Der-Waals Forces Can Be Pretty Strong - Way Stronger Than Most Would Intuitively Expect)
