French translation of icosahedral is 
icosaédrique

Meaning of "icosahedral" in English

The term "icosahedral" refers to anything that has the shape or characteristics of an icosahedron, which is a three-dimensional geometric figure composed of 20 identical equilateral triangular faces, 30 edges, and 12 vertices. In various contexts, particularly in crystallography and virology, materials or structures that exhibit such symmetry are described as icosahedral. This geometric shape is notable for its high degree of symmetry and is observed in certain virus structures and in the formation of quasi-crystals.

Meaning of "icosaédrique" in French

The word "icosaédrique" in French pertains to the shape or characteristics of an icosahedron, which is a polyhedron with 20 identical triangular faces, each meeting at an angle, and having 12 vertices and 30 edges. It is used mainly in scientific fields such as crystallography and biology to describe objects or structures that exhibit this distinct symmetrical form, much like the English usage of the word. Its appearance in nature is often seen in viruses and in the study of complex geometric formations.
