Was specifically thinking of quasicrystalline materials and not amorphous. I know some of them have very unconventional properties so I figured they might be useful here. I don&#x27;t think any of them are considered polymers but I could be wrong. For example (no personal connection): https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.07735 Wouldn&#x27;t they require a totally different type of algorithm given that they often contain both a large number of atoms and odd cell size ? And the more dimensionally complex maths</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2409.07735/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>cond-mat.mtrl-sci
