Einstein problem - Wikipedia
June 23, 2026 - Such a shape is called an einstein, a word play on ein Stein, German for "one stone". Several variants of the problem, depending on the particular definitions of nonperiodicity and the specifications of what sets may qualify as tiles and what types of matching rules are permitted, were solved ...

April 4, 2023 - ... This is the key proposition missing from most discussions of this. A 2x1 rectangle admits an aperiodic tiling. The " einstein" — literally ein stein, one piece — will only tile aperiodically.

An aperiodic monotile
An aperiodic monotile, sometimes called an "einstein", is a shape that tiles the plane, but never periodically. In this paper we present the first true aperiodic monotile, a shape that forces aperiodicity through geometry alone, with no additional constraints applied via matching conditions.

Unless otherwise requested, sets contain a total of 45 tiles. There are 9 different colors, so you will receive 5 tiles of each color.
-----------------------------------
In 2023, mathematicians announced that they had finally discovered a single shape that could tessellate forever without the pattern ever repeating itself. They dubbed it the "Einstein" or "Hat" tile. This is a play on words, as "ein stein" translates to "one stone" in English. (It's not actually named after the famous scientist!)
Now you can challenge your mind with your very own set of Einstein tiles! Don't be fooled, tho

June 4, 2023 - While certain other tiles can be arranged so that they don’t form a repeating pattern, einsteins are special because that’s the only way they can tile. Previously, mathematicians knew of sets of tiles that could tile the plane only with non-repeating patterns.
