Description: Explanation, pictures, and wallpaper of these unusual structures.
Quasicrystals are tilings of the plane which are not periodic, but still can be symmetric. The most common form is called a Penrose tiling after the mathematician who invented it, and this tiling can have five-fold symmetry. These patterns can be generated typically by putting together two different tiles; a single tile alone will not work (for unusual symmetries, at least.)
