Significance Quasicrystals, which exhibit local rotational symmetries and infinite unit cells, are intermediate states of matter between glasses and periodic three-dimensional (3D) crystals. Despite their ubiquity in metal alloys, self-assembled micellar quasicrystals have only serendipitously emerged from intricate molecular building blocks or complex materials-processing protocols. We demonstrate that hydration of a simple oil and surfactant (“soap”) mixture stimulates dodecagonal quasicrystalline ordering of oil-swollen spherical micelles, while oil addition to surfactant/water mixtures instead yields only periodic 3D crystals. Aperiodic order thus emerges as a scale-invariant feature of materials spanning metal alloys to self-assembled soft particles. The straightforward and path-dependent preparation of nonequilibrium quasicrystalline states from simple building blocks suggests that these complex sphere packings may often lurk in plain sight.
