quasi-crystals

Illustration state: the molecules, which appear as red dots, crystallize into a structure that fully corresponds to the mathematical model, depicted in black and white, and form (from left to right, continue in the second row) crystals with rotational symmetry of 180, 90, 60, 36, and 30 degrees.
