2. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

   Penrose tiling. A Penrose tiling is an example of an aperiodic tiling. Here, a tiling is a covering of the plane by non-overlapping polygons or other shapes, and a tiling is aperiodic if it does not contain arbitrarily large periodic regions or patches. However, despite their lack of translational symmetry, Penrose tilings may have both ...

3. Einstein problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_problem

   Aperiodic tiling with "Tile(1,1)". The tiles are colored according to their rotational orientation modulo 60 degrees. [1] ( Smith, Myers, Kaplan, and Goodman-Strauss) In plane geometry, the einstein problem asks about the existence of a single prototile that by itself forms an aperiodic set of prototiles; that is, a shape that can tessellate space but only in a nonperiodic way.

4. Aperiodic tiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperiodic_tiling

   An aperiodic tiling using a single shape and its reflection, discovered by David Smith. An aperiodic tiling is a non-periodic tiling with the additional property that it does not contain arbitrarily large periodic regions or patches. A set of tile-types (or prototiles) is aperiodic if copies of these tiles can form only non- periodic tilings.

5. Pavegen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavegen

   The tile that converts kinetic energy from footsteps into electricity, while collecting data about walking traffic patterns. [4] [5] [6] The first generation tile was made from recycled polymer, with the top surface made from recycled truck tires. Power is generated when a footfall compresses the slab by about 5 mm (0.2 in).

6. Wallpaper group - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper_group

   A wallpaper group (or plane symmetry group or plane crystallographic group) is a mathematical classification of a two-dimensional repetitive pattern, based on the symmetries in the pattern. Such patterns occur frequently in architecture and decorative art, especially in textiles, tiles, and wallpaper. The simplest wallpaper group, Group p 1 ...

7. Wang tile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_tile

   In 1961, Wang conjectured that if a finite set of Wang tiles can tile the plane, then there also exists a periodic tiling, which, mathematically, is a tiling that is invariant under translations by vectors in a 2-dimensional lattice. This can be likened to the periodic tiling in a wallpaper pattern, where the overall pattern is a repetition of ...
