  This study introduces a novel approach to composite design by employing
aperiodic monotiles, shapes that cover surfaces without translational symmetry.
Using a combined computational and experimental approach, we study the fracture
behavior of composites crafted with these monotiles, and compared their
performance against conventional honeycomb patterns. Remarkably, our aperiodic
monotile-based composites exhibited superior stiffness, strength, and toughness
in comparison to honeycomb designs. This study suggests that leveraging the
inherent disorder of aperiodic structures can usher in a new generation of
robust and resilient materials.
