For all who are interested in #symmetry, #crystals and properties of #solids, I have a reading suggestion:

News from the space group diagram project!

Thanks to Eduardo Carrillo Aravena's tremendous support of the project, the diagrams for all hexagonal space groups are now complete as well!

You can find the the diagrams here:

Beyond the Google map the #MOF Universe now has an interactive 3D companion. It renders all 444 research locations on a rotating globe with colour-coded pins, and a built-in search.

In addition to my post yesterday, I discovered a fantastic tool for space group symmetry:

Jmol Space Group Symmetry Visualiser

All space groups can be displayed in 3D and not just the symmetry elements and general position, but all Wyckoff positions!

I used the semester break to make some progress on the space group diagram project: now all space group diagrams of the trigonal crystal system (space groups no. 143 - 167) are complete!

They are available as PNG, PDF, and PPT at:

Enjoy!
