Mathematicians Discover a New Class of Shape: the 'Soft Cell'But in three dimensions, things get more interesting—because 3D soft cells, called z-cells, have no corners at all. For example, a two-dimensional cross-section of a nautilus shell shows shapes ...
This version, using soft shell crabs, is a compromise – you get ... pull off the flexible “apron” at the base (it is bell-shaped for females, pointed for males). Turn the crab over, then ...
