The structure being erected looks fairly unremarkable (though it will eventually be topped with striking hexagonal skylights).
Graphene is composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in the form of a hexagonal lattice.
Normally, these holes are arranged in a hexagonal pattern, but the algorithm generated a bizarre flower-like pattern of holes that no human would have thought of trying.
Graphite, which is black in bulk, consists of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal grid.
Put slightly differently, hexagonal cells allow bees to focus on producing honey and expend the least amount of energy making wax.
There is a limit, though, to the size and weight of mirror that can be lifted into space on a rocket.Size can be dealt with by clever design for example, making a mirror out of hexagonal petals that fold up on top of one another for launch.
These, as their name indicates, are arranged in a hexagonal grid (place cells seem distributed haphazardly).
That is true of surprisingly many churches; indeed at nearby Llanyblodwel, the entire church, with its unique cone-shaped hexagonal spire was designed by its Victorian incumbent.
If one treated each individual cell as a bubble of wax created by a bee, and every bee was trying to create as large a cell as possible, the physics of surface tension would ensure that all the bubbles took on a hexagonal shape within the hive.Mr Ball finds the real answer to be more complex than either explanation.
It relies on a specially developed on-screen keyboard, in which the letters are laid out in a hexagonal grid.
Each hexagonal cell contains a finer pattern of pegs called hemidesmosomes that help the frog to grip.
