Elastic Properties and Thermal Expansion Behavior of a Polycrystalline VMnFeCoNi High‐Entropy Alloy

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 18, 23 September 2026.
The high‐entropy alloy (HEA) V20Mn20Fe20Co20Ni20 (composition in at.%) can be made single‐phase face‐centered cubic (FCC) when annealed above 1338 K followed by water quenching. In this state, the alloy exhibits the greatest strength‐ductility combination of any quinary single‐phase FCC HEA.

Gapless superconductivity and its real-space topology in quasicrystals

Physical Review Research
We study superconductivity in Ammann-Beenker quasicrystals under magnetic field. By assuming an intrinsic s-wave pairing interaction and solving for mean-field equations self-consistently, we find gapless superconductivity in the quasicrystals at and ...

Navigating Classical and Nonclassical Realms of Nucleation and Crystallization

Small, Volume 22, Issue 50, 7 September 2026.
Classical nucleation and growth theories have long been foundational, yet recent nonclassical concepts have challenged and refined our understanding of solid‐state genesis. This paradigm shift introduced new, often ambiguous vocabulary. Here, we clarify key concepts, correct common misconceptions, and provide a terminological field guide across systems,

Designing a minimal Landau model to stabilize desired quasicrystals

Physical Review Research
Interparticle interactions with multiple length scales play a pivotal role in the formation and stability of quasicrystals. Choosing a minimal set of length scales to stabilize a given quasicrystal is a challenging problem.

One million scans later: the evolution of the I16 material and magnetism beamline at Diamond Light Source

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 1575-1588, September 2026.
Beamline I16 at Diamond Light Source is a versatile X‐ray scattering instrument that combines tunable X‐ray energy and polarization, flexible diffraction geometries, and advanced sample environments for studies of electronic, magnetic, and structural phenomena.Here, we review the capabilities of beamline I16 at Diamond Light Source after nearly 20 ...

Quasi-Projection: aperiodic concrete formwork for perceived surface complexity [PDF]

, 2008
By disclosing long range order from few dissimilar tiles, aperiodic tilings can potentially diversify and spatially enrich the repetitive aspects of modular systems still pertinent in the production of architecture today. Such effective tilings have been

Shapes of quasicrystals

, 1997
In the present article, we review the present status of our understanding of the shapes of quasicrystals. Although theoretical efforts exist to determine the equilibrium shape of quasicrystals, very little experimental information exists.

Metallic-mean quasicrystals as aperiodic approximants of periodic crystals

Nature Communications, 2019
Quasicrystals differ from traditional incommensurate structures because they have non-crystallographic rotational symmetries. Here the authors introduce a scheme to produce metallic-mean quasicrystals in two dimensions with 6-fold rotational symmetry ...

The first discovery of a shocked, metasomatised CV3 chondrule‐fragment in a (Al,Cu)‐bearing micrometeorite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2269-2283, September 2026.
Abstract We report the discovery of the second (Al,Cu)‐alloy–bearing micrometeorite, FB‐A2, recovered from Mount Gariglione (southern Italy), representing the sixth such occurrence worldwide. Although chondritic in nature, FB‐A2 differs markedly from previously described microspherules.

Automatic Determination of Quasicrystalline Patterns from Microscopy Images

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.
This work introduces a user‐friendly machine learning tool to automatically extract and visualize quasicrystalline tiling patterns from atomically resolved microscopy images. It uses feature clustering, nearest‐neighbor analysis, and support vector machines. The method is broadly applicable to various quasicrystalline systems and is released as part of
