CS Professor Craig Kaplan and his colleagues have found a shape that mathematicians have been seeking for more than five decades — an aperiodic monotile, a single tile whose copies can fill the entire plane, but only in patterns that don’t consist of a repeating block of tiles.

For more than 50 years, mathematicians hunted for a simple two-dimensional shape that tiles aperiodically. This year, a hobbyist in northern England found two shapes that helped unveil an infinite family of simple aperiodic tiles. @ericaklarreich reports: quantamagazine.org/hobbyist-finds…

CS Professor Craig Kaplan and his collaborators have done it again! They have demonstrated the existence of a “vampire einstein,” a single shape that tiles the infinite plane only aperiodically without reflection. 1/2 uwaterloo.ca/news/mathemati…
