Mathematicians at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics have discovered a new class of geometric shapes – Soft Cells, that characterizes forms commonly found in nature. Soft Cells are shapes with rounded corners and pointed tips and the answer to long-studied shapes that can fit together to cover surfaces without gaps. For instance, In 2D, these soft cells have curved boundaries with only two corners, like, onion or muscle cells. Meanwhile in 3D, soft cells have no corners at all with bent edges.
