Dear Students,
today Chapter 5 of our course has been activated!
We hope, you are all doing well!
In this week we will practise the handling with the International Tables a little further. But in contrast to staring only at circles and commas we will additionally look at real world crystals and some of their symmetry and physical properties. And you can be curious about the story of one of the most thrilling scientific discoveries of the last century: the discovery of quasicrystals by Dan Shechtman.
Looking forward to meet you at class and in the forum!
Frank and Michael
