07.02.2025 Mystery solved – Symmetry of exotic crystals
Crystals are highly symmetrical, but quasicrystals lack important symmetry properties. These solids pose a puzzle for physics. A research team from the Technion in Haifa, the University of Duisburg-Essen and the University of Stuttgart has now solved one of them. They discovered that the symmetry is hidden in a higher spatial dimension.
