SUMMARY:The Second Kind of Impossible
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Paul Steinhardt\, Princeton University\nHosted by: Ki
	rill Korolev\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//files/download/Steinh
	ardt-Poster.pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nQuas
	icrystals are exotic forms of matter with symmetries that were once thought
	 to be mathematically impossible for any kind of solid.  The first known ex
	amples were synthesized in the laboratory over 35 years ago\, but could Nat
	ure have beaten us to the punch?  This talk will describe the decades-long 
	search to answer this question\, an improbable story with more twists and t
	urns than you can count.
