Recent discovery of graphite polyhedral crystals, having shapes of faceted needles, rods, rings, barrels, and double-tipped pyramids with 7-fold, 9-fold, or more complex morphological symmetry, suggests the possibility of growing complex crystal shapes on nanoscale and microscale. Appropriate crystal design may result in more diverse and better controlled morphologies grown “to size” from the material that best suits the application.
