Now, scientists have created the biggest-ever quasicrystal from similarly contentious circumstances — as a consequence of a bet made between the lead researcher and a colleague about whether the ...

In a diamond zapped with lasers, physicists have created what they believe to be the first true example of a time quasicrystal – one in which patterns in time are structured, but do not repeat.

The “hat” wowed mathematicians. Now the shape is shaking up physics. In 2023, mathematicians reported that the 13-sided tile was the first known “einstein.” That’s a shape that can ...
