Scientists at Princeton University , New Jersey studied ancient meteorite . They found a first quasicrystal with a 'forbidden symmetry ' It was thought such material could not naturally occur in nature . Crystal has a symmetry in which it should n't be possible for atoms to form . Discovery could shed light on how these materials exist in the universe .
