Congratulations to Professor Daniel Shechtman, Technion Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel, on winning the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of quasicrystals!
“Contrary to the previous belief that atoms were packed inside crystals in symmetrical patterns, Mr. Shechtman showed that the atoms in a crystal could be packed in a pattern that could not be repeated,” said the Nobel Academy.
