Big things in Michigan
The most complicated crystal structure ever produced in a computer simulation
has been achieved by researchers at the University of Michigan. The
icosahedral quasicrystal looks ordered to the eye, but has no repeating
pattern. At the same time, it's symmetric when rotated, like a soccer ball with
five-fold and six-fold patches. Due to their symmetry under rotation,
icosahedral quasicrystals may exhibit a photonic band gap making them of interest for displays and
optical communications.
