We propose reinforcement learning to control the dynamical self-assembly of a dodecagonal quasicrystal (DDQC) from patchy particles. Patchy particles undergo anisotropic interactions with other particles and form DDQCs. However, their structures in steady states are significantly influenced by the kinetic pathways of their structural formation.

One of the frontiers of nanotechnology is advancing beyond the periodic self-assembly of materials. Icosahedral quasicrystals, aperiodic in all directions, represent one of the most challenging targets that has yet to be experimentally realized at the colloidal scale. Previous attempts have required meticulous human-designed building blocks and often resulted in interactions beyond the current experimental capabilities.

Coordination networks based on lanthanide ions entangle collective magnetic phenomena, otherwise only observed in inorganic 4f materials, and the tunable spatial and electronic structure engineering intrinsic to coordination chemistry. In this review, we discuss the use of 2D-structure-directing linear {LnI} nodes to direct the formation of polymeric coordination networks. The equatorial coordination plasticity of {LnI} results in broad structural diversity, including previously unobtainable tessellations containing motifs observed in quasicrystalline tilings.

The amorphous materials of the TiZrNi composition synthesized by mechanical alloying are widely recognized for their ability to store hydrogen with gravimetric densities above 2 wt.%. It is also known that those alloys can form a quasicrystalline state after thermal treatment and their structural and hydrogen sorption properties can be altered by doping with various elements.

Media with correlated disorder display unexpected transport properties, but it is still a challenge to design structures with desired spectral features at scale. In this work, we introduce an optimal formulation of this inverse problem by means of the nonuniform fast Fourier transform, thus arriving at an algorithm capable of generating systems with arbitrary spectral properties, with a computational cost that scales O(NlogN) with system size. The method is extended to accommodate arbitrary real-space interactions, such as short-range repulsion, to simultaneously control short- and long-range correlations.
