Applications of n-dimensional crysrtallographic groups

I would like to know what are the applications of the theory of $n$-dimensional cystallographic groups (aka space groups, aka Bieberbach groups)

  1. in mathematics

  2. outside of mathematics,

besides the applications to $2$-dimensional and $3$-dimensional crystallography (or related fields like chemistry, or physics, of crystals).

One possible application of $4$-dimensional space groups is already reported in the wikipedia article I linked to (see "Magnetic groups and time reversal").
