If it sounds gobbledygook, a dodecahedron is a 12-sided polygon, or think about a mutating cube that’s grown another six sides. That’s what Canada’s Nanoleaf brings to the table with its new ...

The resulting surface is a highly redundant representation of the dodecahedron, with 10 copies of each pentagon. And it’s massively more complicated: It glues up into a shape like a doughnut with 81 ...

H ow few corners can a shape have and still tile the plane?” mathematician Gábor Domokos asked me over pizza. His deceptively simple question was about the geometry of tilings, also called ...

But unlike a typical handheld remote control, the Nanoleaf Remote is in the shape of a 12-sided polygon -- a dodecahedron, if you will -- which changes the lights depending on which side it's on.

Nanoleaf's Remote has a design that's not quite like any other HomeKit-enabled remote-style device on the market, with dodecahedron shape where each side activates a different scene.

So Bell opted to engrave his calendar on a rhombic-dodecahedron, which comprises 12 four-sided, diamond-shaped faces. “It is such a complicated shape,” Bell says of the final, tilted ...

A rendering of the rhombic dodecahedron shape that lithium atoms formed on a surface with the researchers’ technique for avoiding corrosion, top, with four illustrations (middle, bottom rows ...

Four trenches were opened, and it was in trench four – in what appeared to be a large pit – that a perfectly crafted dodecahedron was found. It’s the 33rd to be found in England and the ...

During this work, Schein came across the work of 20th century mathematician Michael Goldberg, who described a set of new shapes that have been named the Goldberg polyhedra.

Amateur archaeologists found a Roman-era dodecahedron in Norton Disney, England. Dozens have been found in Europe since the 1700s, but experts can’t agree on what they are.

Mathematicians have spent more than 2,000 years dissecting the structure of the five Platonic solids—the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron, and dodecahedron—but there’s still a lot ...
