Physicists Create Quasicrystalline Patterns in Water Waves
Original: Quasicrystalline Water Waves
Researchers report generating quasicrystalline patterns in water waves, bringing the geometry famously seen in solid materials into fluid dynamics. Work on quasicrystals earned the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and reproducing their aperiodic order in waves rather than atomic lattices is a striking demonstration. Physicists are discussing what the finding reveals about wave interference and whether similar ordered-but-non-repeating structures could emerge in other fluid systems.
Why now: New physics research showing quasicrystal geometry reproduced in water waves is drawing attention from the scientific community.
