Long-range magnetic order has been observed in quasicrystals, strange solids that show forbidden cry…

In 1984, a routine examination of an aluminum-manganese alloy revealed a curious anomaly that was previously thought to be crystallographically impossible- a five-fold rotational symmetry. This was the discovery (later recognized by Nobel Prize) of a “quasicrystal” (QC), a curious solid that…
