Quasicrystalline Water Waves Observed in Physics Research
Original: Quasicrystalline Water Waves
Researchers with the American Physical Society are highlighting quasicrystalline water waves, wave patterns on water that arrange in quasicrystalline order, meaning ordered but not repeating periodically. The work draws attention because quasicrystalline structures are usually seen in solid materials, and demonstrating them in fluid surface waves offers a new way to study these unusual patterns in the lab.
Why now: The physics community is discussing a novel demonstration of quasicrystalline order in an unexpected medium: water waves.
