(geometry) Any of several nonconvex regular polyhedra with regular pentagrammatic faces or vertex figures and which can be obtained by stellation of the dodecahedron or icosahedron.

(physics) One of the three fundamental structural phases of matter in which the cohesive force of matter is strong enough to keep the molecules or atoms in the given positions, restraining the thermal mobility.

(chemistry) A type of colloid, of the form of a solid dispersed in a liquid.

A solid produced by taking a particular two-dimensional curve and rotating it through 360° about an axis. The curve will sweep out a surface, and the region inside the surface defines a solid.

(geometry) Any of a class of convex polyhedra that have regular faces but are not uniform (that is, not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms, or antiprisms).

(geometry) Any of a class of convex semiregular polyhedra, composed of two or more types of regular polygon meeting in identical vertices.

(physics) Any homogenous crystalline solid, consisting of more than one type of molecule or atom randomly dispersed, in which the structure is independent of its composition.

(chemistry) A type of colloid, of the form of one solid dispersed in another continuous solid.
