Review text

It is described a polyhedral prototile which is topologically equivalent to a trefoil knot and admits a monohedral tiling of 3-dimensional Euclidean space. The construction starts with colored plane-tiling by regular hexagons and with dividing the space into plane layers, equipped with this tiling. It is noted that similar methods can be used to construct other knotted spacefillers.

Recommendations

• Another space-filling trefoil knot
• Spacefilling knots
• Knotted lattice-like space fillers
