With the help of powerful computers, researchers discovered a four-sided shape that naturally rests on one side, and built a ...

“Bille” is the first-ever monostable tetrahedron, or a pyramid-like shape with four triangular faces that has one stable ...

A tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid. Mathematicians have now made one that’s stable only on one side, confirming a ...

Carbon, one of the most abundant elements in the universe, constitutes many key components of life and technology. Because of this, the material is ...

Meet Bille, the name given to the world's first monostable tetrahedron—a four-faced object that will always land on the same ...

Well, consider this: only a few months ago, space exploration company Intuitive Machines reported that a lunar lander had ...

The geometry of a working monostable tetrahedron construction. (a) Photo of the structure. Frame made of pultruded carbon fiber tubes with outer diameter = 1mm, inner diameter = 0.5mm, density 1. ...

Planar tetracoordinate carbon species subvert the long‐standing paradigm of tetrahedral carbon geometry, demonstrating that a carbon atom can be stabilised in a planar configuration with four ...

A peculiar pyramidal shape, devised by mathematicians, always comes to rest on its base, slowly and uncannily righting itself ...
