Micrographs of nanoparticles and images of natural objects with fivefold symmetry are arranged in juxtaposition to reveal striking similarities between the natural and the nano world. Although millions of times smaller than life, these particles somehow appear to belong in the natural world. The Review discusses several reasons for the stability of nanoparticles with fivefold symmetry, including the formation of twin boundaries, surface reconstruction faceting, and other factors.
