The tetrahedron is the simplest of all polyhedra. Any four points in space that are not all on the same plane mark the corners of four triangles. The triangles in turn are the faces of a tetrahedron.

A tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid. Mathematicians have now made one that’s stable only on one side, confirming a decades-old conjecture. In 360 BCE, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an ...

Four mathematicians have cataloged all the tetrahedra with rational angles, resolving a question about basic geometric shapes using techniques from number theory. The tetrahedron is the simplest three ...

The tetrahedral geometry of four-coordinate carbon atoms is a steadfast property of organic compounds. Nevertheless, chemists are still attracted to the possibility of twisting or squashing a ...

Tetrahedral kites make for a great DIY project. Originally developed by Alexander Graham Bell, these simple kites can be built out of straws, fishing line and paper. The weight to sail area coupled ...
