Like the tiger puzzle in a box of frosted flakes . . . .
I can see why they call it a hat. I think it looks more like t-shirt.
But at the bottom of it, as the shapes morph in the animation, is what looks like a hexagon
Dang it! Now I want some cookies! :-D
That’s even better than Buckyballs
I’m in to geopolymer concrete. If this was the crystal structure, or used for bricks, displacements wouldn’t propagate through the lattice.
Now do it in 3D.
I don’t remember changing my settings to accept cookies.
Legos should find this interesting!
Perhaps this shape could be useful for the heat tiles on re-entry vehicles.
Just realized it: a retired pronting tech in Yorkshire who plays with tiling and tessalations for fun found the shape. He rings up an academic who shares his passion and has software to test the shape. Now the academic is carrying the discovery ball. Hope the retired tech’s name is registered in the history books, too. He put in a lot of hours to finally find it and then “hand it off.”
