Summary
Kelvin's Tetrakaidecahedron
, a
Space-filling polyhedron
composed of
14 faces
, was proposed by
Lord Kelvin
as the
Geometrical structure of foam bubbles
that would
Minimize surface area
. Although later research identified the
Weaire–Phelan structure
as more efficient,
Kelvin's Tetrakaidecahedron
remains significant in studies of
Optimal space partitioning
.
