Apr 10, 2023 · A new shape called an einstein has taken the math world by storm. The craggy, hat-shaped tile can cover an infinite plane with patterns that never repeat.
Mar 31, 2023 · A new 13-sided shape is the first example of an elusive "einstein" — a single shape that can be tiled infinitely without repeating a pattern.
Mar 24, 2023 · Mathematicians found the first true “einstein,” a hatlike shape that can be tiled to cover an infinite plane, but with a pattern that can’t repeat.
Aug 12, 2016 · In fact we’ve only known that non-periodic tiling, which creates never-repeating patterns, can exist in crystals for a couple of decades. Now my colleagues and I have made a model that can...
