Recent theoretical work has shown that quasicrystal (QC) superconductors should exhibit unconventional behaviors, such as vortex pinning without impurities and FFLO-like states. Here, Y. Tokumoto et al. report experimental observation of bulk superconductivity in Ta1.6Te, a van-der-Waals-layered QC with Tc = 1 K.
