Scientists finding a new geometric shape that explains and shows how our skin cells pack and fit together.
As the epithelium of our skin grows and curves, the cells must adjust and take on new shapes to pack using as little energy as possible. They took not just a random form, but the form of a scutoid.
Well, these are building blocks like in Minecraft, only for our skin.
