Symmetry

Symmetry – a topic familiar to all of us chemistry students, has proven to be especially inspiring. As a result, we are thrilled to present this current issue to you.

This exceptionally long issue covers a wide range of topics, from snow crystals and character tables to the symmetry of time. You’ll also find articles on music, a Christmas cookie recipe, chess, and an interview with Prof. Beltrao. For a bit of variety, we’ve included multiple puzzles and a mandala.
