One way of creating a time crystal is to knock some of the carbon atoms out of the crystal lattice of diamond, creating what ...

By and large though, whatever pattern you choose, it will normally end up repeating on some scale or other. That is, unless you go with something like a Penrose Wave Tile. Discovered by ...

but the pattern doesn’t repeat exactly (similar to the famous Penrose tiling). This study suggests that quasicrystals could play a big role in adsorption—the process of an atom or molecule adh ...
