This “Impossible” Crystal Is Changing What We Know About Reality

Once thought impossible, quasicrystals revealed a hidden order that challenges our understanding of materials. Their structure follows rules from higher dimensions, influencing both their mechanical and topological properties. Recent research has uncovered bizarre time-related behaviors in these crystals, suggesting deeper physical principles at play. A Revolutionary Discovery in Crystallography In April 1982, Prof. Dan Shechtman [...]
