Bille is the first monostable tetrahedron, a pyramid-like shape with four triangular faces that has one stable resting position.

It's made of lightweight carbon fiber and dense tungsten carbide, Bille represents an array of ridiculously sophisticated engineering decisions.

Bille 's self-righting property hints at some exciting applications for the spaceflight industry.

Novo Nordisk's Bille is a mathematical model of a self-right insulin capsule that self-rights itself once inside a stomach, eliminating the need for needle injections.

Domokos is particularly excited to see what might become of Bille further down the line.

GÃmbÃc got a lot of love from artistic communities and natural scientists.
