Through Shechtman's discovery, several other groups were able to form similar quasicrystals, finding these materials to have low thermal and electrical conductivity, while possessing high structural stability.
Grazas ao descubrimento de Dan Shechtman, outros grupos foron capaces de formar cuasicristales similares, e atoparon que estes materiais teñen baixa condutividade térmica e eléctrica, mentres que posúen alta estabilidade estrutural.
