One way of creating a time crystal is to knock some of the carbon atoms out of the crystal lattice of diamond, creating what ...

Physicists have just created the first-ever time quasicrystal, a new phase of matter that appears to defy concepts of time ...

Physicists at Washington University have forged ahead in the field of quantum mechanics by creating a new phase of matter ...

Now, a team of physicists from Washington University in St. Louis have created a new type of time crystal called a ...

Physicists have long been fascinated by the concept of symmetry breaking, a fundamental principle in physical sciences that ...

Now, the team believes that because time crystals and quasicrystals are sensitive to quantum forces like magnetism, they could serve as long-lasting quantum sensors that never need recharging. This, ...

Time crystals are like a clock that never needs winding or batteries. “In theory, it should be able to go on forever,” Zu said. In practice, time crystals are fragile and sensitive to the environment.
