名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A polyhedral solid formed by joining two face-regular triangular prisms along corresponding square faces, giving a quarter-turn to one prism. It is noted for being one of the few regular polyhedra that packs in three dimensions.
    — To elucidate this complex correlation, we carried out detailed Monte Carlo simulations of six convex space-filling polyhedrons, namely, truncated octahedrons, rhombic dodecahedrons, hexagonal prisms, cubes, gyrobifastigiums and triangular prisms.
