Prussian Blue is the popular name for ferric ammonium hexacyanoferrate, a beautifully vivid pigment discovered in the 18th century and widely used in painting. Despite being comprised of chemically simple components (iron, ammonium and cyanide ions), it has an extremely complex structure.

When heated strongly, it releases hydrogen cyanide gas - one of the deadliest poisons known to mankind.

The definition of an antiprism, from Wikipedia:

"In geometry, an n-sided antiprism is a polyhedron composed of two parallel copies of some particular n-sided polygon, connected by an alternating band of triangles. Antiprisms are a subclass of the prismatoids.

"Antiprisms are similar to prisms except the bases are twisted relative to each other, and that the side faces are triangles, rather than quadrilaterals."

"Structures" is an eight-part circus on the memories of May 2nd.
