Our world is made up of elegant shapes — there's the square, the rectangle, the sphere, the prism and many more. But sometimes, these shapes don't quite fit nature's game board. Sometimes, you also ...

There's been an exciting, new development in the action-packed world of geometric shapes. Researchers from the the University of Seville and Seville Institute of Biomedicine have discovered a new ...

In geometry, an n-sided prism is a polyhedron made of an n-sided polygonal base, a translated copy, and n faces joining corresponding sides. Thus these joining faces are parallelograms. All ...

This shape, dubbed the scutoid, had no name until researchers found it while modeling how skin cells pack together. University of Seville and Lehigh University Most of us only need to master the ...

A prism has a constant cross-section throughout its length. When the cross-section is a triangle, the prism is called a triangular prism. When the cross-section is a hexagon, the prism is called a ...

A 3D shape with all straight edges and flat faces is a polyhedron. Other 3D shapes with least one curved surface are not polyhedra. A 3D shape with regular polygonal faces, meeting at equal angles, is ...
