A tetradecahedron is a polyhedron with 14 faces. There are numerous topologically distinct forms of a tetradecahedron, with many constructible entirely with regular polygon faces.
A tetradecahedron is sometimes called a tetrakaidecahedron.[1][2] No difference in meaning is ascribed.[3][4] The Greek word kai means 'and'. There is evidence that mammalian epidermal cells are shaped like flattened tetrakaidecahedra, an idea first suggested by Lord Kelvin.[5] The polyhedron can also be found in soap bubbles and in sintered ceramics, due to its ability to tesselate in 3D space.[6][7]
