Stem cell tech simulates ALS, quantum tools decode quasicrystals, and cancer exploits a human mutation—three breakthroughs ...

Rare quasicrystal found in trinitite formed during 1945 Trinity Test Research suggests other quasicrystals might form in lighting strikes, meteor impacts.

A rare and exotic mineral, so unusual that it was thought impossible to exist, came to Earth on a meteorite, according to an international team of researchers led by Princeton University scientists.

Quasicrystals are bizarre, rare, mysterious materials blending mathematical order and irregularity. A new, unexpected material halfway between a regular crystal and a quasicrystal may help reveal ...

A surprising connection between quasicrystals and topological insulators has been demonstrated in the lab by physicists in Israel. The team has studied how light propagates through a 1D quasicrystal ...

The einstein tile can cover an infinite plane only with a nonrepeating pattern. A material based on it has features of both crystals and quasicrystals.

After being shaken for about a week, thousands of millimetre-sized metal beads arranged themselves into an exotic structure called a quasicrystal – and it was the biggest one yet. The creation ...

The quasicrystal was spotted in the red trinite collected from the site. Scientists claimed that this kind of symmetry is simply impossible on Earth, according to Futurism.

The quasicrystal, a type of non-repeating crystal once deemed impossible, was made by jiggling thousands of metal balls in a tray for over a week.

A type of crystal that breaks the rules of ordinary crystallography has been found in a tube of melted sand from Nebraska.

Each time quasicrystal represents a network of more than a million of these empty spaces inside the diamond, though each measures just one micrometer (one-millionth of a meter).
