A team of international researchers has shown that four-dimensional structures can influence the mechanical and topological properties of quasiperiodic crystals. This finding confirms that ...

This new design breaks the mold by positioning these meta-atoms in a more complex, quasicrystal pattern. Quasicrystals, while ordered, lack repetitive structures. This innovative arrangement ...

In the illustration: A tesseract (a four-dimensional cube) and the "shadow" it casts on a plane—the quasicrystal discovered by Shechtman. According to Prof. Bartal, "The fact that a quasicrystal ...
