Researchers have created a new phase of matter, expanding on the 2016 creation of time crystals to create a more complex ...

Physicists have long been fascinated by the concept of symmetry breaking, a fundamental principle in physical sciences that underpins the formation of distinct phases of matter. In conventional ...

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

time crystals could be used as long-lasting quantum sensors that never need to be recharged. Time crystals also offer a novel route to precision timekeeping. Quartz crystal oscillators in watches ...
