The Socolar–Taylor tile was proposed in 2010 as a solution to the einstein problem, but this tile is not a connected set. In 1996, Petra Gummelt constructed a decorated decagonal tile and showed that when two kinds of overlaps between pairs of tiles are allowed, the tiles can cover the plane, but only non-periodically.

The Buran and Space Shuttle orbiters were exposed to similar temperatures, and both had similar levels of insulation. Compared to the Space Shuttle, Buran had a different tile layout on its underside, in which all gaps between heat tiles are parallel or perpendicular to the direction of airflow through the orbiter's lower surface.

LI-900 is a type of reusable surface insulation tile developed and manufactured by Lockheed Missiles and Space Company in Sunnyvale, California. It was designed for use on the Space Shuttle orbiter as part of its thermal protection system to minimize thermal conductivity while providing maximum thermal shock resistance.
A patch of 25 monotiles, showing the triangular hierarchical structure. The Socolar–Taylor tile is a single non-connected tile which is aperiodic on the Euclidean plane, meaning that it admits only non-periodic tilings of the plane (due to the Sierpinski's triangle-like tiling that occurs), with rotations and reflections of the tile allowed.

The smaller A-tile, denoted A S, is an obtuse Robinson triangle, while the larger A-tile, A L, is acute; in contrast, a smaller B-tile, denoted B S, is an acute Robinson triangle, while the larger B-tile, B L, is obtuse. Concretely, if A S has side lengths (1, 1, φ), then A L has side lengths (φ, φ, 1). B-tiles can be related to such A-tiles ...
A Pythagorean tiling Street Musicians at the Door, Jacob Ochtervelt, 1665.As observed by Nelsen [1] the floor tiles in this painting are set in the Pythagorean tiling. A Pythagorean tiling or two squares tessellation is a tiling of a Euclidean plane by squares of two different sizes, in which each square touches four squares of the other size on its four sides.
Guastavino tile vaulting in the City Hall station of the New York City Subway Guastavino ceiling tiles on the south arcade of the Manhattan Municipal Building. The Guastavino tile arch system is a version of Catalan vault introduced to the United States in 1885 by Spanish architect and builder Rafael Guastavino (1842–1908). [1]
