<h5><b>The Squtoid<b></h5>  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!
