A Quasi-Quasicrystal

An anonymous reader sends along a link to a mindbending article in Science News on quasicrystals — odd materials with a structure partway between order and disorder. Now researchers have found something even odder: a material that's partway between a quasicrystal and a regular crystal. The order in the new structure is provided by the Fibonacci sequence. It was constructed with plastic beads and laser beams, so no new materials science inventions are on the horizon. "'We are absolutely sure that this structure should have properties that are not usual,' Mikhael says, because materials with odd structures almost always do. Now they just have to figure out what those properties are."

An artist on Hamra Street

BEIRUT: About seven people shuffle around the tiny shop. Occasionally someone will squat down to examine a sparkling ring, or reach up to grab a long, intricate necklace. One woman writes her name down on a slip of lined paper and hands it to the man behind the counter. He takes a seat and carves the name into a brown leather bracelet. The sound of beads clinking together fills the room. This is the scene inside Henry's Handmade, a jewelry store on Hamra Street.

When art brings a reality check

The last time Richard Hughes showed in Glasgow, his work could be divided into two types. For the most part, he made immaculate sculptures of rather mundane, often unpleasant things. Roadsider (First of the Morning) was a perfect model of a bottle flung from a car window by a driver caught short between service stations. Cast in three stages from resin, everything from the yellow liquid pooled inside, to the blue plastic cap of the bottle, to the beads of condensation on its surface were absolutely realistic, utterly convincing. Even if you were allowed to pick up the art in galleries, you wouldn't want to touch this.
