FINDING: Discovery of quasicrystals with forbidden five-fold rotational symmetry, breaking periodic lattice dogma, linked to Penrose tiling and golden ratio. | MATH: Golden ratio φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618; its reciprocal 1/φ ≈ 0.618; φ² = φ+1 ≈ 2.618; φ⁻² = 2-φ ≈ 0.382. Five-fold symmetry is incompatible with periodic Brav…

The fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) typically proceeds via vacuum deposition (VD); however, solution-processed (SP) devices hold the promise for a much more cost-effective and less energy-intense fabrication. Their performance, however, lags behind 2 vacuum-deposited devices, in part because there…
