Electrical discharge triggers quasicrystal formation in an eolian dune

We report the discovery of a dodecagonal quasicrystal Mn(72.3)Si(15.6)Cr(9.7)Al(1.8)Ni(0.6)—composed of a periodic stacking of atomic planes with quasiperiodic translational order and 12-fold symmetry along the two directions perpendicular to the planes—accidentally formed by an electrical discharge...
