Scientists witness nature’s complexity unfold in self-assembling quasicrystals
Oct 31, 2009 Science
(PhysOrg.com) -- Just a few decades ago, scientists believed that all ordered matter consists of self-repeating building blocks -- atoms, ions or molecules. In this view, the ordinary solids of everyday life are arranged in crystals of repeating, three -- dimensional patterns.Tags: Atoms Ions, Building Blocks, Complexity, Crystals, Decades, Dimensional Patterns, Everyday Life, Molecules, Nature, Scientists, Solids, Witness
