AI helps find a 3D shape that tiles space in a never-repeating pattern
New Scientist calls the shape Chair44 and compares it with “the hat,” a two-dimensional tile discovered in 2023.
TLDR
New Scientist reports that a researcher used AI to discover Chair44, a shape that can tile three-dimensional space without gaps or a repeating pattern. It follows the 2023 discovery of “the hat,” which can tile a two-dimensional surface without gaps or a repeating pattern.
