Specifically, they found a special more simple type of aperiodic tiling, i think

But mathematicians absolutely had tiled the plane in a way that doesn’t repeat before, just not quite like this one. There’s even a veritasium video about it

Not really oniony though

All the previous tilings needed more than one shape. This is the first that is a single shape repeated.

Eh, perhaps you are right to some extent about not being oniony enough (it’s my first post to the sub). But this is the first time a plane can be tiled aperiodically with a SINGLE tile. I’ve seen Veritasium’s video a while ago.
