Well-defined shapes became cloudy, dissolving into other well-defined shapes; the cloudiness was only in the inability of the observer to fathom the nuances.

At other times, the fiber has been used to make individual, well-defined shapes that are arranged to look like collections of specimens.

The scutes that cover the armor plates do not have as well-defined a shape as the hexagonal osteoderms that lay underneath them.

He developed mathematical techniques for finding the centers of mass of objects of uniform density of various well-defined shapes.

The bottom-up methods usually give well-defined shapes with characteristic length about few nanometers.

Many have stylized forms and technically they are more accomplished, in that they have a well-defined shape and clear ornamenation.

Integrins can assume several different well-defined shapes or "conformational states".

All chromosomes normally appear as an amorphous blob under the microscope and only take on a well-defined shape during mitosis.

The connection of specific bis-amino acids leads to the formation of bis-peptides with well-defined molecular shape, which is of great interest for designing nano-structures.

Approaches from the field of "classical" chemical synthesis (inorganic and organic synthesis) also aim at designing molecules with well-defined shape (e.g. bis-peptides).
