Researchers at UC Berkeley have observed a time-rondeau crystal, where long-term temporal order coexists with short-term ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers achieved the first experimental observation of a time rondeau crystal ...

A glittering hunk of crystal gets its iridescence from a highly regular atomic structure. Frank Wilczek, the 2012 Nobel Laureate in Physics, proposed quantum systems––like groups of particles––could ...

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. In their ongoing efforts to push ...

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 once existed in only complex, quantum matter, ...

Correlations between quantum particles result in a rhythmic signal – without the need for an external beat to set the tempo. Nature has many rhythms: the seasons result from the Earth's movement ...

Scientists have developed the first-ever time crystals that are visible to the human eye, and they could one day make their way onto $100 bills. The time crystals emerge from the kinks that appear ...
