What is the pattern of Quasiperiodic Crystals according to Shechtman's discovery?
Chaos
Geometrical
Non-repetitive
Both Geometrical and Non-repetitive
Answer
The pattern of quasiperiodic crystals is both geometrical and non-repetitive. This means that the crystals have a repeating pattern, but the pattern does not repeat itself exactly. The discovery of quasiperiodic crystals by Shechtman in 1982 challenged the existing understanding of crystals, which had held that all crystals had a repeating pattern.
