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) 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 ...

Quasicrystals are extraordinary objects. Just like crystals, they consist of ordered patterns, but unlike crystals, these patterns don’t repeat. They have many technological applications, so the ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered the first superconductive quasicrystal. The crystalline alloy Al-Zn-Mg became quasicrystalline when the Al content was reduced to 15 percent, while remaining a ...

Scientists have recently achieved a groundbreaking feat by creating a new form of light matter within a quasicrystal. This development introduces a novel phase of matter that defies conventional ...

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 ...
