The 30th Quasicrystal Research Meeting was successfully held at Matsue Terrsa from December 8- 10, bringing together 60 researchers from across Japan to share and discuss recent progress in the study of quasicrystals and aperiodic materials.

The scientific program spanned a wide range of topics, including structure and magnetism in Tsai-type quasicrystals and their approximants, superconductivity, electronic and thermoelectric properties, quasiperiodic and aperiodic lattice theories, hyperuniformity, as well as optical and photonic quasiperiodic systems.
Both experimental and theoretical contributions highlighted the interdisciplinary nature of the field. Several presentations focused particularly on rare-earth-based quasicrystals and approximants, examining magnetic properties, crystalline electric field effects, and low‑temperature phenomena.

Prof. Tamura of the Tokyo University of Science delivered the Opening Lecture, “Magnetism of Hypermaterials,” providing an informative overview of the development, current understanding, and future prospects of this rapidly evolving research area.

The meeting provided an active forum for discussion among participants at all career stages and served as a valuable platform for exchanging ideas and fostering collaboration within the quasicrystal research community.
The organizers gratefully acknowledge all speakers and participants for their contributions, as well as the Matsue Convention Bureau for its financial support.
