Quasicrystals

So much for learning crystal structures having bcc, fcc(ccp) or hcp and etc to only realise that these structures have a more limited usage than expected. We know crystal structures are derived from crystals itself, suggesting that a structure type is derived based on a crystal present of that structure, but applying this structure as the guide or basis for many other similar atom combinations proves to be limited.
