Chemistry World October 10, 2013 Jon Cartwright	Quasicrystals discovered in oxides Physicists and chemists in Germany have discovered quasiperiodic crystals, or quasicrystals, in oxide materials. The discovery suggests there could be many more quasicrystals out there, despite only a few having been found to date.
