Chiral symmetry breaking yields the I-Au60 perfect golden shell of singular rigidity
Chiral-icosahedral symmetry is exceptionally rare in molecular systems. Here, the authors predict the spontaneous formation of a stable chiral-icosahedral gold shell, in which all 60 atoms are symmetrically equivalent.
