Simulation shows microscopic plastic balls inside cell membranes

What is the most space-efficient way to pack tennis balls or oranges? Mathematicians have been studying this “sphere packing” problem for centuries, and surprisingly, the results… Little attention has been paid to replicating the results in the real world. Now, a physics experiment using tiny plastic balls confirms what mathematicians have long suspected. This means that if you only have a few balls, it’s best to stick them into sausages.
Johannes Kepler was the first…
