Abstract

Why do atoms stick together? And why do they gather in aggregates exhibiting specific types of three-dimensional (periodic) arrangements? Mankind, on its road to reveal the secrets of nature, time and again returns to these questions in order to develop an ever-growing insight on how matter is formed from its building units.
