Space-filling polyhedron 1970-01-01
A space-filling polyhedron, also known as a tessellating polyhedron, is a three-dimensional geometric shape that can fill space without gaps or overlaps when repeated. Essentially, when these polyhedra are arranged in a lattice or grid formation, they completely fill a volume without leaving any empty spaces. The most common example of a space-filling polyhedron is the cube, which can tile three-dimensional space perfectly.
Sphenocorona 1970-01-01
Sphenocorona is a genus of plants in the family Cyclanthaceae. It is composed of flowering plants known for their unique morphological features and relatively limited distribution. Members of this genus are primarily found in tropical regions, particularly in Central and South America. The term "Sphenocorona" itself is derived from Greek roots, where "spheno" refers to a wedge shape and "corona" can mean crown or halo, reflecting some characteristic of the plant's structure.
Sphenomegacorona 1970-01-01
Sphenomegacorona is a term that does not appear to be widely recognized in established scientific literature or common terminology. As of my last update in October 2023, it is possible that it could refer to a newly discovered species, classification, or concept in a specific field, such as biology, paleontology, or even an entirely different context.
Square bifrustum 1970-01-01
A square bifrustum is a three-dimensional geometric shape, typically associated with the field of geometry, particularly in the study of polyhedra.

Triakis octahedron 1970-01-01
The Triakis octahedron is a convex polyhedron that can be classified as a type of Archimedean solid. It is derived from the regular octahedron by adding a pyramid to each face of the octahedron, where each pyramid has a triangular base. This construction results in a solid that retains the overall symmetry of the octahedron but has additional vertices, edges, and faces.
Triakis tetrahedron 1970-01-01
A triakis tetrahedron is a type of polyhedron that can be considered a variation of a tetrahedron. Specifically, it is formed by taking a regular tetrahedron and adding a triangular pyramid (or tetrahedral apex) to each of the faces of the original tetrahedron. The key characteristics of a triakis tetrahedron include: 1. **Vertices, Edges, and Faces**: The triakis tetrahedron has 12 edges, 8 faces, and 4 vertices.
Triakis truncated tetrahedron 1970-01-01
The triakis truncated tetrahedron is a type of Archimedean solid. It is a geometric shape that can be constructed by taking a regular tetrahedron (which has four triangular faces) and truncating (slicing off) each of its vertices.
Triangular bifrustum 1970-01-01
A triangular bifrustum is a three-dimensional geometric shape that is essentially formed by truncating the top and bottom of a triangular prism. Specifically, it consists of two parallel triangular bases—one larger than the other—and three rectangular lateral faces that connect the corresponding sides of the two triangular bases.
Triangular cupola 1970-01-01
A triangular cupola is a type of geometric shape categorized as a polyhedron. It is part of a family of shapes known as cupolas, which are constructed by connecting two bases—one being a polygon and the other a similar polygon that is either translated or shifted vertically. In the case of a triangular cupola, the two bases are triangles.
