The 'Scutoid': Newest Discovery of Science

1.jpg

The Squtoid
is a brand-new 3 dimensional shape. According to Javier Buceta, a biophysicist and one of the discoverers of this amazing shape; “It’s a prism with a zipper”. It becomes very interesting to me when I learn that is the ideal form for epithelial cells to remain tightly beside each other and to allow close packing of genetic codes.

Also, another exciting point for the shape is to have non-planar surfaces unlike other geometrical forms such as icosahedron, octahedron and other Johnson Solid forms.

I tried to figure out how this geometry works..
Here is my latest drawings and diagrams about this amazing form!

Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
Have Fun and Enjoy!
