ECA lunchtime webinars - From penrose tilings to the trinity test: the extraordinary story of the discovery of quasicrystals in nature (01-2022)

L'Association Européenne de Cristallographie (ECA) organise depuis 2021 des "webinaires déjeuner". Les groupes d'intérêt spéciaux (SIG) et les groupes d'intérêt général (GIG) de l'ECA organisent à tour de rôle un webinaire adapté à la communauté des cristallographes au sens large. Le huitième webinaire sera diffusé le 3 février 2022 (13h) et s'inscrit dans le thème de SIG-05 - Mineral and Inorganic Crystallography. Le thème de ce webinaire est From penrose tilings to the trinity test: the extraordinary story of the discovery of quasicrystals in nature (Luca Bindi, University of Florence, UNIFI · Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Florence, Italy). Inscriptions ici.

Quasicrystals are exotic forms of matter with symmetries that were once thought to be mathematically impossible. The first known examples were synthesized in the laboratory over 35 years ago, but could Nature have beaten us to the punch? This talk will describe the decades-long search to answer this question, resulting in one of the strangest scientific stories you are ever likely to hear.
