the six crystal systems and axes of each

Crystallography is the study of the formation, structure and properties of crystals. A crystals structure is defined by the particular repeating arrangement of atoms throughout the crystal. The external appearance of the crystals is often related to its internal arrangement of atoms. There are six basic crystal systems. Isometric system Tetragonal system Hexagonal system

Protein kinases, most scientists would agree, regulate nearly every aspect of cell life. It is no surprise, then, that having faulty protein kinases may lead to a number of human conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes. Kinases form a large family. Some of its members have similar structures, which has led some researchers to propose that the activity of these kinases is probably regulated in a similar manner and, therefore, may be targeted with similar…

an ink drawing of crystals and rocks

A detailed black and white drawing of a cluster of crystals. The crystals are drawn with intricate detail, showing their sharp edges, facets, and internal structure. The drawing is done in a realistic style, capturing the beauty and complexity of these natural formations. The artist has included small stones and rubble around the crystals, creating a sense of depth and texture. The drawing is on a white background, allowing the details of the crystals to stand out. The artist has signed…

the different shapes and sizes of crystals

Consider any star of n line segments through one point in space such that no three lines are coplanar. Then there exists a polyhedron, known as a zonohedron, whose faces consist of n(n-1) rhombi and whose edges are parallel to the n given lines in sets of 2(n-1). Furthermore, for every pair of the n lines, there is a pair of opposite faces whose sides lie in those directions (Ball and Coxeter 1987, p. 141). A zonohedron is a therefore a polyhedron in which every face is centrally…
