Quasiperiodic crystal
“This led to a paradigm shift within chemistry”
“It is our duty as scientists to promote education, rational thinking and tolerance. Science is the ultimate tool to reveal the laws of nature and the one word written on its banner is ‘truth.’ The laws of nature are neither good nor bad. It is the way in which we apply them to our world that makes the difference,”

Quasicrystals are unique structures with special properties that distinguish them from ordinary crystalline materials. They are complex atomic structures that do not have periodic symmetry. The production of quasicrystals is one of the most complex artificial processes in industry.
The process of obtaining quasicrystals begins with the selection of starting materials. Metals such as aluminum, nickel, iron or their alloys are usually used for this purpose. In addition to the basic metal components, various elements such as manganese, copper or zirconium can be added to obtain the desired properties of the quasicrystal.
Additionally, we create industry-safe technologies for their use in various materials.

Applications Of Quasicrystals
Quasicrystals are a unique class of materials with symmetry that differs from the classical symmetry of crystals. These substances have become the object of study for many scientific disciplines and have found wide application in various fields.
Nowadays new high-strength aluminum alloys are developed, they are reinforced with nanodisperse particles of quasicrystals to increase temperatures and technology for their production. The technology of applying quasicrystalline coatings has also been developed and it can be applied in various branches of technology to create thermal barriers, protective coatings, and coatings on the tools which improve their properties.
Quasicrystals make it possible to create new materials that are much more efficient than existing ones. Especially when interacting with each other, these metal alloys, improved batteries, polymers, rubbers, coatings and other materials can change the face of entire industries, increasing the durability of parts and power supplies, improving various quality indicators.
So, the use of quasicrystals stands at the forefront of modern technologies. These materials open up unlimited possibilities in various industries, from construction and transport to energy and medicine. Constant research and development in this area allows us to realize the potential that quasicrystals can bring in the future.
