Project07How a tetrahedral substance can be more symmetrical than a spherical atom: A new type of symmetry

・Special tetrahedron substances with a higher symmetry than spherical atoms were theoretically discovered
・A new type of symmetry gives rise to "super-degeneracy", the anomalous multiplicity of quantum states
・Super-degenerate nanomaterials with unprecedented electrical and magnetic properties will be developed
