Mathematical tile shaped like a crooked hat solves decades-old Einstein problem
The nonrepeating Smith hat tile created twisting, pinwheel-like light patterns that ordinary quasicrystals do not produce.
Standing at the intersection between mathematics and the tiler's trade is the so-called einstein problem. Despite its name, this mathematical question has nothing to do with the Nobel Prize winner ...

New laser diffraction behavior unravels a different twist on Einstein problem
Scientists at the Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) at the University of Tokyo in ...
Is it possible to tile a surface with a single shape in such a way that the pattern never repeats itself? In 2022, a mathematical solution to this 'Einstein problem' was discovered for the first time.
After Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity in 1905, he spent the next decade trying to come up with a theory of gravity. But for years, he kept running up against a problem. He ...
