In our recent podcast, we interviewed Dr. Felix Flicker, a senior lecturer at the University of Bristol. We explore the potential of quasicrystals in solving real-world problems inspired by chess moves.

Dr. Felix Flicker is a theoretical physicist and Senior Lecturer in Physics at the University of Bristol. His research concerns the quantum underpinnings of matter. He is the author of The Magick of Matter: Crystals, Chaos and the Wizardry of Physics.

His and his team’s work combines the movement of chess pieces with the study of quasicrystals. This groundbreaking research can potentially revolutionize fields ranging from carbon capture to quantum computing.
