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

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

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

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 in St. Louis have achieved a remarkable scientific milestone: they’ve created a “time ...

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

This new design breaks the mold by positioning these meta-atoms in a more complex, quasicrystal pattern. Quasicrystals, while ordered, lack repetitive structures. This innovative arrangement ...

WashU physicists shine a microwave laser into a chunk of diamond to create a time quasicrystal, a new phase of matter that repeats precise patterns in time and space.

Quantum physicists have created a new phase of matter inside a diamond. Their new "time quasicrystal" is special as it is ...

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.
