Standing at the intersection between mathematics and the tiler's trade is the so-called einstein problem. Despite its name, this mathematical question has nothing to do with the Nobel Prize winner ...

Is it possible to tile a surface with a single shape in such a way that the pattern never repeats itself? In 2022, a mathematical solution to this 'Einstein problem' was discovered for the first time.

Triangles and defects: Due to the chirality – the handedness – of the molecules, the individual triangular tiles never fit together perfectly. Defects and offsets occur, which give the surface its ...
