HoneycombA Tessellation in -D, for . The only regular honeycomb in 3-D is , which consists of eightcubes meeting at each Vertex. The only quasiregular honeycomb (with regular cells andsemiregular Vertex Figures) has each Vertex surrounded by eightTetrahedra and six Octahedra and is denoted .
There are many semiregular honeycombs, such as , in which eachVertex consists of two Octahedra and fourCuboctahedra . See also Sponge, Tessellation References
