Sharon Glotzer and colleagues looked at how the maximum packing efficiency of tetrahedrons and several other simple polyhedrons varies according to two parameters. These parameters describe the ...

In this movie, Daniel extends our understanding of area to 3-dimensional shapes called polyhedrons. This movie looks at what surface area is, what polyhedrons are (specifically prisms and pyramids ...

Even the 44 polyhedrons that resisted self-assembly could provide fodder for future designer materials. "Some of them we ran and ran [the simulation] and we just couldn't get them to form anything ...

The Rev. Magnus Wenninger, who was 97 when he died, was a mathematician well known for his work constructing models of polyhedrons — three-dimensional solids consisting of a collection of ...

Five years later, he published his first book on polyhedrons, "Polyhedron Models for the Classroom," which has been reprinted six times — including in Spanish — for a total of 52,000 copies.
