Penrose tiling is a non-periodic tiling generated by an aperiodic set of prototiles, named after the mathematician and physicist Roger Penrose, who studied these patterns in the 1970s. Unlike traditional tiling that can be periodically repeated, Penrose tilings cannot be exactly repeated in a regular pattern. They exhibit a form of symmetry that is both intricate and ordered, yet they do not repeat, which leads to fascinating mathematical and artistic properties.
