Chemists identify a single molecule that naturally tiles in nonrepeating patterns, which could help build materials with novel electronic properties.

Paul Steinhardt. The key insight that enabled their explanation was that quasicrystals were, in fact, periodic—but in a higher dimension than the one in which they exist physically. Using this ...

Tungsten carbide is a great material, durable enough to cut most metals and withstand tough physical and chemical conditions.

What we discovered is that the projection includes not only the structure but also topological properties such as vortices.” Credit: Florian Sterl, Sterltech Optics Once thought impossible, ...

Moiré quasicrystals exhibit many exotic phenomena. Here, the authors report an acoustic moiré quasicrystal that not only achieves a localization-delocalization transition, but also enables wave ...

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, ...

Operando analysis offers real-time data on what happens to devices at the atomic level As someone whose PhD was in solid-state materials chemistry, and who spent a lot of time characterising those ...
