A "spherical helix" refers to a curve that winds around the surface of a sphere, forming a continuous, coiled shape. This type of structure can be found in various natural phenomena, such as DNA molecules and certain types of shells, as well as in man-made applications like mechanical parts and computer hardware components. Its unique geometry allows it to maximize surface area while minimizing volume, making it an efficient design choice for many purposes.
