In our "Molecular Aesthetics" course, we developed a keen interest in various geometric structures. Under the guidance of our teaching assistant Hou-Hsun Ho, we decided to represent the compound of five tetrahedra using the form of branched carbon nanotubes (CNTs). By precisely arranging carbon atoms, we were able to sculpt this unique symmetric geometric shape, showcasing the structural beauty at the molecular level.
