The object was first described by Gómez-Gálvez et al. in a paper entitled Scutoids are a geometrical solution to three-dimensional packing of epithelia, and published in July 2018.
Who discovered the scutoid?
The discovery is the result of a United States-European Union collaboration between the teams of Luis M. Escudero (Seville University, Spain) and that of Javier Buceta, associate professor of bioengineering and a faculty member in the chemical and biomolecular engineering department at Lehigh.
How many faces does a scutoid have?
According to a press release, the best solution was a totally new shape the team dubbed a scutoid, since it resembles a top-down view of a beetle's scutellum, part of its shell. The shape looks like a long five-sided prism with a diagonal face sliced off one end, giving that end six sides.
