The pattern on this tie is a quasicrystal, a structure that is ordered but not periodic. Physicists had long agreed that all crystal structures followed a periodic pattern, and , Dan Shechtman met with scepticism in 1982, when he showed that quasicrystals existed. It eventually turned out that he was right, and he was awarded the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this discovery. Shechtman received the tie for his 70th birthday from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, whose vice-chancellor Peretz Lavie had had it custom-made.
Dan Shechtman donated the tie to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2011. - Pristagare
