Ever since their discovery, quasicrystals have garnered much attention due to their strange structure. Today, they remain far from being well-understood. In a new study, scientists reveal, for the ...

(Nanowerk News) Nanoengineers have created a quasicrystal—a scientifically intriguing and technologically promising material structure—from nanoparticles using DNA, the molecule that encodes life.

(Nanowerk News) Quasicrystals are one of the most peculiar structures in nature. Owing to their characteristics that make them crystal-like yet very distinct, they have been attracting the attention ...

The strange class of materials known as quasicrystals has a new member. In a paper published on Thursday, Dec. 20, in Science, researchers from Brown University describe a quasicrystalline ...

The first complete atomic structure solution of an icosahedral quasicrystalline material has been reported by researchers in Japan. The study demonstrates the power of state-of-the-art analytical ...

When Assistant Professor of Chemistry Ou Chen and his team set out to study the structures formed by tetrahedral building blocks, they instead stumbled across an entirely new quasicrystalline ...

Brown University researchers have discovered a new type of quasicrystal, a class of materials whose existence was thought to be impossible until the 1980s. The strange class of materials known as ...
