Quasicrystal-clear: Material reveals unique shifting surface structure under microscope – Phys.org

Between chemistry classes, gemstones, and electronics, the idea of crystals, that is, substances with an ordered and periodic arrangement of atoms is quite common. But about 40 years ago, a strange particle was discovered by scientists that hasn’t become commonplace in our world yet: quasicrystals. These are structures with curious atomic arrangements, which, while superficially similar to crystals, lack periodicity despite being ordered. Because of their structures, quasicrystals exhibit symmetries…
