Caption: Giza in the Nanoworld: Gold particles were arranged on virtual desert sand. 7 gold atoms form a triangle of 6 atoms with one additional gold atom attached. The cluster of 20 atoms are piled together to form a pyramid with four equivalent corners and faces; a tetrahedron. The cluster, with one atom less, can be constructed by cutting a corner atom off the tetrahedron.
