Abstract
AbstractTwo decades after the first publication on quasicrystals in aluminum manganese alloys by Shechtman et al., a “soft quasicrystal” was found in nature. Since then a number of materials successively joined the family of soft quasicrystals, including liquid crystals, polymers, nanoparticles, colloids, mesoporous silica, and even water and silicon. In this article, important experimental advances are reviewed to introduce readers to the emerging research front of soft quasicrystalline materials. The world of quasicrystals opened by Daniel Shechtman extends its reach into the twenty‐first century chemistry.
