N2 - We present an approach for aggregating Penrose tiles to form a defect-free, 2D pentagonal quasicrystal tiling. Contrary to conventional wisdom, defect-free quasiperiodic tilings can be constructed by use of local rules alone. The results provide new insights as to how materials with only short-range atomic interactions can grow large, nearly perfect quasicrystal grains.
