The hemicube, which might also be called the square hemiprism, is a simple solid that serves as an example of one of the two topological classes of convex hexahedron having 7 ...

The Platonic solids, also called the regular solids or regular polyhedra, are convex polyhedra with equivalent faces composed of congruent convex regular polygons. There are ...

In general, a triakis octahedron is a non-regular icositetrahedron that can be constructed as a positive augmentation of regular octahedron. Such a solid is also known as a ...

A space-filling polyhedron is a polyhedron which can be used to generate a tessellation of space. Although even Aristotle himself proclaimed in his work On the Heavens that ...

The great cubicuboctahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 14 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 77 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 50 (Coxeter et al. 1954), and ...

A chamfered tertrahedron, also known as the alternate truncated cube, is a polyhedron obtained by chamfering a regular tetrahedron. The illustration above shows increasing ...

R. Whorf found that there are probably several thousand stellations of the small triakis octahedron (Wenninger 1983, p. 36). In particular, the convex hulls of the great ...

Assemble six 1×2×2 blocks and three 1×1×1 blocks into a 3×3×3 cube.

The pentagonal icositetrahedron is the 24-faced dual polyhedron of the snub cube A_7 and Wenninger dual W_(17). The mineral cuprite (Cu_2O) forms in pentagonal ...

A generalization of a solid such as a cube or a sphere to more than three dimensions. A four-dimensional version of a polyhedron is known as a polytope.
