Japanese Kagome baskets inspired a new kind of super-crystal.

Japanese basket pattern inspires new material
Mar 2018, BBC
The molecules of this new electrically conducting crystal resemble the arrangement of traditional Japanese basket-weaving patterns. (Can we call this a metacrystal, as in superconducting metamaterial + crystal? Are all metamaterials crystals?).
Also note the talk about quantum computers in this article. Supercomputing 2-dimensional quantum crystals; you can't talk about one without the other. And you can't think about the future without seeing humanity as a bunch of data-pushing filaments stretching across the solar system.
Let's not forget Alex Grey's Universal Mind Lattice, also a point of inspiration, although less practical than a Japanese basket.
