tiling project

An aperiodic tiling is a non-periodic tiling with the additional property that it does not contain arbitrarily large periodic regions or patches. A set of tile-types (or prototiles) is aperiodic if copies of these tiles can form only non-periodic tilings.
The Penrose tilings are the best-known examples of aperiodic tilings.
Aperiodic tilings serve as mathematical models for
quasicrystals, physical solids that were discovered in 1982 by Dan Shechtman who subsequently won the Nobel prize in 2011. However, the specific local structure of these materials is still poorly understood.
Several methods for constructing aperiodic tilings are known.
