A few years ago, when Theresa and I saw the inventor of a sound and light chamber called the Harmonic Egg interviewed on TV, we were intrigued by her concept. The geometry of this Egg is a seven-foot-long dodecahedron (almost the shape of an egg), made of soft wood with high quality...
This beautiful sacred geometry structure is a combination of two of the Perfect Platonic Solids, the Icosahedron and the Dodecahedron. 27/03/2024 Spring Equinox 2024 The equinoctial points are the places on the ecliptic (the Sun’s path) which in relation to the earth make night and day of...
To support his habit, he committed a string of robberies with a shoplifted toy gun, was eventually arrested, and sentenced to 15 years in a state penitentiary in Connecticut. To keep himself sane, Ray taught himself to embroider, using unraveled socks for thread and a sewing needle secured f...
I had been building geometric objects in Second Life for over a year. I started out slow, like we all do. I took as many building and scripting classes as I could take, but ultimately I found the best way to learn to build in Second Life was to find a good mentor. Luckily, I fou...
Using the divine proportion, the complex solids (the twelve-sided dodecahedron and twenty-sided icosahedron) may be generated from the simple solids. An icosahedron may be nested within the octahedron, and the dodecahedron may be built-out from a cube. It's a very elegant family of forms ...
However, robots can help us carry out study in other fields, too — as a new folding grabber robot developed at Harvard University makes clear. Harvard’s innovative RAD robot (that’s short for “Rotary Actuated Dodecahedron,” although it’s pretty rad as well) is designed to be able ...
The stability of the (110) surface is reflected in the theoretical equilibrium shape of the ZnS crystal. CrystaIlns 2f0a1c7,t,7,t1h1e0 minimization of the surface Gibbs free energy as performed in the Wulff construction6, of 37 generates a dodecahedron exposing only (110) facets [171], ...
but the texture is good, mainly composed of single crystals, accounting for 98% of the total output; the crystal is relatively complete, with octahedron, dodecahedron and hexahedron as the most; most of the crystals are light and transparent or yellow and brown; the grain weight is less than...
