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 ...

They can be used to make patterns of interlocking pentagons ... be mapped almost perfectly onto another tiling scheme, devised by mathematician Roger Penrose, which does generate true quasicrystals.

Unlike a traditional crystal, which repeats periodically, this pattern exhibits long-range order without repetition, similar to a Penrose tiling. When they introduced ultracold atoms—cooled to ...
