Aperiodic tiling: Tile infinite surface without gaps
If you don’t feel like regularly recurring patterns when laying tiles, you have a team of professional and amateur mathematicians to thank for a new option.

Experts call this aperiodic tiling. The tile has 13 corners and, with a little imagination, resembles a hat.
