"New geometric shape discovered with non-repeating tiling ability"

TL;DR Summary
A team of mathematicians has discovered a 2D geometric shape called "the hat" that does not repeat itself when tiled, making it an aperiodic monotile. The shape has 13 sides and is a single shape that could be used for aperiodic tiling all by itself. The researchers suggest that the most likely application of the hat is in the arts.
