Forming quasicrystals by monodisperse soft core particles

Quasicrystals with structural symmetries forbidden in crystals have been found in alloys or mono-component systems composed of anisotropic units. Zu et al. show a formation of two-dimensional quasicrystals in an isotropic soft solid with a spring-like potential, which challenges the existing theory.
