Can the shape of a crystal really change how well it performs in clean energy technology? A new study says yes—decisively.

A net is a 2D shape that folds to make up a 3D shape. The net of a dodecahedron (a platonic solid with twelve pentagonal faces) is made up of 12 regular pentagons. A cube has six faces.

A 3D shape with regular polygonal faces, meeting at equal angles, is a platonic solid. There are five platonic solids, the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron. A prism is a ...
