#Physicists dream up ‘spacetime #quasicrystals’ that could underpin universe
Orderly structures that never repeat can exist in melded space and time of Einstein’s relativity
Instead of existing in two or three spatial dimensions, these quasicrystals’ structures would bridge space and time. Although theoretical, the researchers suggest that such spacetime quasicrystals may appear in nature, perhaps even underlying the structure of the universe.

"In one study, Sun and collaborators adapted a method for studying crystals to determine that at least some quasicrystals are thermodynamically stable — their atoms won’t settle into a lower-energy arrangement. This finding helps explain how and why quasicrystals form. A second study has yielded a new way to engineer quasicrystals and observe them in the process of forming."
