    You're probably talking about the cubic crystal structure of alpha polonium, the only element known to exist that way. Each alpha polonium crystal has 27 atoms in a three by three arrangement. Alpha polonium is an allotrope of the element polonium. Allotropes are physical forms of a single element. An example is carbon, which exists as diamond and graphite.
