Tetrastix

In geometry, it is possible to fill 3/4 of the volume of three-dimensional Euclidean space by three sets of infinitely-long square prisms aligned with the three coordinate axes, leaving cubical voids; John Horton Conway, Heidi Burgiel and Chaim Goodman-Strauss have named this structure tetrastix. (Wikipedia).
