Crystal made from 13-sided 'einstein' shape bends light in ways nobody imagined
Reported byLive Science ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Physicists constructed a crystal lattice from a 13-sided 'einstein' tile—a recently discovered aperiodic shape—and observed novel optical properties, advancing understanding of how tile geometry influences light behavior.
