The discovery of quasicrystals (awarded with the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry) generated a revolutionary impact on crystallography, and hence a plethora of structural topics across a range of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) disciplines. The unconventional feature of quasicrystalline structures, i.e., exhibiting rotational symmetry without continuous translational symmetry (lattice periodicity), completely redefined the existing framework of viewing and categorizing matter. While quasicrystal research began with the development of intermetallic alloys, quasicrystalline materials have since been created from building blocks across length scales. In this review, we focus on quasicrystalline materials produced from various non-atom building blocks. In the following, we showcase some unique properties and potential applications of such materials, ranging from photonic crystals metamaterials to architecture/art designs and time crystals.
