A single form called the Einstein tile can entirely cover a surface without repeating a pattern. Mathematicians just just made the discovery. Einstein is a pun on the word "one stone" in German. If copies of a set of tile types may only be used to create patterns without repetition, the set is said to be aperiodic.
