A polygon is a 2D shape with straight sides that meet at vertices. Polygons have names that show the number of sides they have. A three-dimensional (3D) shape is a solid shape. 3D shapes have ...

Faces - A face is a flat surface on a 3D shape ... come on now. Her shape must be a square-based pyramid. The base of this shape is a square, which we know from its name.

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...

During morphogenesis—the process by which living organisms take shape—cells collectively position themselves in specific ways ...

Mathematicians’ Favorite Shapes Hold the Key to Big Mathematical Mysteries ...

A graduate student accidentally created a blend of oil, water and nickel particles that formed an unexpected shape.

Researchers have built a powerful new 3D earthquake simulation that reveals how massive quakes like the 2023 Turkiye disaster ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could change how we design aircraft and car components. Researchers at NIST ...

Plants don't just grow, they build. From towering trees to delicate flowers, complex plant shapes are sculpted with remarkable precision. Now a study by biologists and biophysicists at Université de ...

We can change our names, shorten them, modify them, resist them, or inhabit them. They become, for many, a crucial part of who we are, but do they control our destiny or shape our character?

The perhaps surprising key to the team's success was the use of a little-known 3D shape, the oloid, which gave the magnetic medical robot a previously impossible range of motion—the roll ...

SINGAPORE – The PAP’s latest crop of candidates could be its youngest since the 2011 election, with more women in the mix. In all, The Straits Times has identified around 30 new faces who ...
