Sparked by Dan Shechtman's discovery of quasicrystals in 1982, which earned him the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, the field incorporates crystallography, discrete geometry, dynamical systems, ...

Marjorie Senechal's fields of interest include history of science and technology, discrete geometry (polyhedra and tiling theory) and mathematical crystallography (including quasicrystals). At Smith, ...

Advances in laser-based fabrication technology have resulted in the construction of the first three-dimensional silicon photonic quasicrystals that operate in the infrared. Photonic crystals are ...

Quasicrystals are materials with unique, non-periodic symmetry that distinguishes them from conventional crystals. Approximant crystals, often regarded as precursor materials closely related to ...

Taking principles from fractal geometry and the strategic game of ... describe an exotic form of matter known as quasicrystals. And it was all inspired by the movement of a Knight around a chess ...
