This is a list of uniform tessellations in dimensions 2-8, constructed by vertex figures that are uniform polytopes with circumradii equal to 1.0.
Lattice refers to the vertex arrangement of a uniform tessellation/honeycomb. There are also dual lattices, which place vertices at the tessellation facet centers.
The number of vertices in the vertex figure is equal to the kissing number of the tessellation.
