from Google AIi:
Penrose tilings exhibit "forbidden" symmetries, particularly 5-fold and 10-fold symmetry, which are not possible in traditional repeating crystal structures. This was a revolutionary discovery that opened new avenues in crystallography and quasicrystal research, ultimately leading to Dan Shechtman's 2011 Nobel Prize. Penrose tilings, with their non-repeating patterns, also demonstrate the potential for aperiodic structures to exhibit mathematical properties related to quantum error correction
