Modern history of fivefold symmetry and the icosahedron began between 1984 and 1985, when Shechtman and his research team opened a new branch in crystallography called fivefold symmetry and the Kroto/Smalley research team discovered C 6 0. Topics include the history of Fullerene C 6 0, symmetry and golden mean properties of the icosahedron, biofullerines, cytoskeletal computation, self-assembly, Fullerene production, nanotechnology of C 6 0, electrochemistry, and practical applications.
