Naturally Occurring Quasicrystals

Naturally occurring quasicrystals score 90 points, a rare physics hit that rewards materials science's oddest corners with an upvote surge. This post attracts 20% fewer points than The main thing about P2P meth is that there's so much of it (2021)'s meth essay, but its discovery of a new quasicrystal phase in a meteorite sample, measured at 5 micrometers across, provides the data-led evidence. The concrete measurement outperforms the average science entry's vague claims, making it a standout in niche topics.
