Existing in or relating to two planes; having parts arranged in two different flat surfaces or dimensions.
From di- (two) + planar (relating to planes). Used in geometry and crystallography to describe structures with two-plane symmetry or arrangement.
In crystallography, diplanar crystals grow along two distinct planes—and this seemingly boring geometry detail explains why some crystals have their beautiful rectangular shapes!
