quasicrystals

B3) The existence of quasicrystals is evidence for some such currently unrecognized, nonalgorithmic physical process.

Israeli scientist Daniel Shechtman won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for his discovery of a unique mosaic of atoms called quasicrystals, which form regular mathematical patterns that never actually repeat themselves—a structure that broke all the accepted rules of how a crystal ought to behave.

The Tel Aviv-born professor's 1982 discovery of what would become known as quasicrystals provoked controversy in his field, demonstrating that atoms in some crystals were packed in patterns that could not be repeated, which was once thought impossible.

It is very sad that Dan Shechtman's discovery of quasicrystals was ignored and belittled for so long, though such treatment is not confined to the scientific world.

There is one very important distinction that needs to be made between global warming and quasicrystals.

If Mr. Shechtman's discovery of quasicrystals had turned out to be incorrect, it would have had little effect on the future of life on planet earth.

Materials scientist Dan Shechtman won the 2011 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his discovery of quasicrystals, materials with atoms arranged in an orderly structure that never repeats, often described as analogs to Penrose’s tilings (SN: 10/5/11).
