Geometric scaffolds for packing, growth, folding, and implant design studies.
Overview
Natural systems are full of packing, branching, growth, folding, and surface constraints. Aperiodic monotile patches are not biological models by default, but they can serve as clean geometric scaffolds for asking better questions.[2][5]
- Morphogenesis, shell growth, protein folding, cellular packing, and neural geometry
- Implants, prosthetics, vascular stents, tissue scaffolds, and surgical planning
- Crystal structures, catalysts, zeolites, molecular cages, and drug-binding geometry studies
