Scientific paper

It is argued that the prevailing definition of quasicrystals, requiring them
to contain an axis of symmetry that is forbidden in periodic crystals, is
inadequate. This definition is too restrictive in that it excludes an important
and interesting collection of structures that exhibit all the well-known
properties of quasicrystals without possessing any forbidden symmetries.
