Researchers report the first observation of a new type of time crystal that seemingly defies Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Using a superconducting quantum computer, physicists created a large and complex version of an odd quantum material that has ...

Researchers created a strange quantum crystal from a material found in smartphones—the first of its kind visible to the naked eye. Reading time 2 minutes Of all the eccentricities of the quantum realm ...

A time crystal as seen under a microscope. A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal crystal repeat in space. Examples ...

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in time itself. Instead of atoms arranging neatly into repeating patterns, ...

Imagine a clock that doesn't have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used liquid crystals, ...

Physicists used liquid crystals to build a near-perpetual clock-like system, demonstrating a 'time crystal' phase where components move continuously without external power. (Nanowerk News) Imagine a ...
