"...When forced to arrange themselves on
a flat surface, the repulsion between
charged particles will lead to the
formation of a lattice composed of
identical triangles of particles to
minimise the energy of the
system...Researchers studying spherical
structures for the last hundred years or
so have puzzled over how to wrap charged
particles around a sphere because the
triangle-based lattice breaks down...An
