allotrope
Po

The only element with a simple cubic crystal structure at room temperature

← Allotrope of Polonium

Alpha-polonium is the only pure element that naturally forms a perfect simple cubic lattice — a textbook icon.

A crystalline allotrope of Polonium (space group P m -3 m), sourced from the Crystallography Open Database (COD 1509138).
