Explanation of Axis, Whole Cube Showing Equator

Caption

The fully assembled nanocube is represented in this illustration. Each yellow X is a location where researchers at the University of Tokyo used different atoms selected for their polarizability. The combined effect of 18 variable polarity atoms in each nanocube allowed researchers to measure differences in the dispersion force.
