Example sentencesExamples
- These catenoids are the first explicitly known discrete minimal surfaces besides the trivial plane.
- Again, branched catenoids can exist only if an upper limit for the distance of neighbouring nets is not exceeded.
- The bidenoid is a well-controlled modification of the catenoid by Hermann Karcher.
- Soap bubbles and cell membranes are often catenoids, and molecules may knit together to form helicoid surfaces, emblems of stable energy states.
- The catenoid is a minimal surface with ‘too much’ negative curvature.

Origin

Late 19th century: from Latin catena 'chain' + -oid.
