Chemistry World March 6, 2014 Emma Stoye	Buckyballs form up into quasicrystal layer Flat, two-dimensional layers of molecules structured like quasicrystals -- crystals that show order without repeating patterns -- have been made for the first time by scientists in the UK and Japan.
Chemistry World October 10, 2013 Jon Cartwright	Quasicrystals discovered in oxides Physicists and chemists in Germany have discovered quasiperiodic crystals, or quasicrystals, in oxide materials. The discovery suggests there could be many more quasicrystals out there, despite only a few having been found to date.
