3000 ball bearings show crystal defects with Matt Parker

From the creator

Watch Matt's video here: https://youtu.be/3inLMXcetUA I recreated an old desk toy called Atomix to demonstrate crystal defects like vacancies, grain boundaries and stacking faults. We touch a little bit on close packing problems in mathematics. That's what Matt's video is all about.
