A series of cracks in a wooden pillar form parallelepipeds with similar sizes, and an overall fractal structure of cracks and sub-cracks.
Found this pattern on a sun-dried wooden pillar on a hike today - nice educational analogue for the mosaic structure of single crystals isn't it? Such a well behaved cracking #BraggYourPattern
A map of Australia and New Zealand with pins indicating the location of a primary school that have received a Crystal Explorer Kit.
We've raced past 500 schools and now well over 650! Look how spread out those locations are. We're really happy that our Crystal Explorer Kits are reaching remote primary schools all over. #BraggYourPattern
And of course now anyone can flood Bluesky with their custom patterns... add the tag #FourierTiler so people don't miss any and can find them back! And of coruse, let's saturate #Braggyourpattern as well 😏
BIG THANKS to the @ccdc.cam.ac.uk team for new funds for our next big outreach project!!
Detail of a bronze sculpture showing triangles joined in an aperiodic pattern, reminiscent of a glassy atomic structure.
#BraggYourPattern Seoul Edition #3: detail of a bronze sculpture at Ewha Womans University. amorphous in a way, crystalline in another... Depending on the wavelength ✨
A wall of square grey stones, but everything is tilted by 45° for some cool reason.
#BraggYourPattern Seoul Edition #2: a... "45° stone wall"? Not quite sure how to call it but I questioned my cartesian reference for a second... Spotted in Namsan Sky Forest trail.
A wall of rectangular stones, well packed despite having all different size, larger at the bottom, gradually smaller towards the top. Many light grey, some sand-yellow with a rose hue.
#BraggYourPattern Seoul Edition #1: it must have taken an incredible patience to make this packing masterpiece decorating Sungnyemun Gate 🌺
The Romans were clearly on to something #BraggYourPattern
Here's the latest distribution map. 53 more schools have signed up since the post below! The most recent order is from a remote school in the Pilburra (NW part of WA), somewhere down the track in the photo. The Satellite view reinforces how remote it is. They also have an #elementsets on its way!
We just crossed the milestone of the 500th school to sign up for their crystal explorer kit!! #BraggYourPattern
A fragment of the Garnet Room from Granatium museum, consisting from hexagonal tiles.

What did you do today? I added plane waves.
#BraggYourPattern
Image of patterns in the sand in the intertidal zone. The sandscape fills the image, and there are regular wave patterns in it. For a sense of scale there are two white shells in one of the divots in the sand.
Yes I'm the weirdo that goes to the beach for the patterns #BraggYourPattern
Mean! but also excellent
I suspect they would be eaten before some could work out the wallpaper group :)
The GingerBread Instruments is back after last year hiatus (blame on flamingos).
#chemchat, can you determine the wallpaper group?

A nice correlated disorder pattern in the KLM airplane

Oooo a most excellent #BraggYourPattern
A flurry of snowflakes with text reading 'Virus Snowflakes: a collection of paper art viruses by Ed Hutchinson - Download now!' along with the logo of the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research
If you'd like to celebrate the biology of viruses - or the fight against viral diseases - this winter, try out our free and updated #VirusSnowflake designs.
Please share, and if you have any photos of Virus Snowflakes in your area it would be lovely to see them!

This looks an amazing resource for STEM, crystallography is a cross-discipline adventure!
Another one for #BraggYourPattern
And here we have our Fourier transform nr. 58! As far as I'm concerned, perhaps the most enigmatic and unexpected spectrum so far... anyway, quite a spectacle! #BraggYourPattern #Fouriertransform #crystallography
As always, more on behance.net/specialdefects and instagram.com/specialdefects
Mesmerizing!
A bit of an #outreach win today - orders from Flinders Island, a remote island off the coast of Tasmania, for both a Crystal Explorer Kit (for their primary students) and an Elements Set (for their secondary students)! #elementsets #crystallography #ozchem #BraggYourPattern

Now it’s time to #BraggYourPattern
A nearly isotropic pattern of lines irradiating from the centre. The colour scheme is a fresh combination of teal, light violet and blue on a white background.
Time for a new 57th entry in my #Reciprocart gallery! This time we look at the frequency spectrum of a Hyperbolic tiling of triangles 📐 Unsurprisingly (for the experienced) it's a bunch of lines... but the hexagonal symmetry is visible if one looks close enough 🧐 #crystallography #Braggyourpattern
