I don't have sufficient reputation to comment, and this doesn't warrant a separate answer. orthocresol's answer covers it.
But here's the origin of the image the question asker and a number of news outlets have used:

It is, in fact, an artistic interpretation; the album also contains an overlay that illustrates that perceived vertices do not map to atomic nuclei.

For an application I need a commercial, transparent liquid with refractive index n>2, is there this kind of liquid available?
On the web only n=1.81 is routine. The second question is, what's the chemical composition of this?
Wood's notation is used to reference the relationship between two 2D lattices when the angle between the two unit vectors $(a_1, a_2)$ of one lattice is the same as the angle between the unit vectors $(b_1, b_2)$ of the other lattice. It's written with the ratios of the corresponding unit vectors...
I read an article by popsci that talked about huge fans forcing methane over a catalyst.
Now that got me wondering, can't we produce hydroxyl radicals with powerfull uv lasers blasting the sky, creating more hydroxyl radicals to break down the methane.
Would this be effective enough to help cre...
Are there other mixtures than piranha solution with similiar or better ability to completely and readily oxidize organic matter? Perhaps peracetic/performic acid?
In particular, if I cut a block of stainless steel in half, would the newly formed faces be stainless as well?
This question is inspired from a previous question(marked unclear). I don't know about the context of that question but I was intrigued by a statement in that question:
Superphosphate is used instead of just phosphate because
superphosphate is a compound whereas phosphate is an ion.
Now, ...
