The visible patterns produced by the time crystals could be used for data storage and anti-counterfeiting designs.

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in ...

Nature has many rhythms: the seasons result from Earth's movement around the sun, the ticking of a pendulum clock results ...

Physicists have unveiled a new type of time crystal that is governed by quantum behavior that conflicts with classical models ...

In their study, Zhao and Smalyukh created a space–time crystal in the nematic phase of a liquid crystal. In this phase the crystal’s rod-like molecules align parallel to each other and also flow like ...

A new study reveals that spontaneous emission, a key phenomenon in the interaction between light and atoms, manifests in a new form within a photonic time crystal. This research, led by a KAIST team, ...

Layering different time crystals could create ultra-secure, always-changing holographic images or vibrant, shimmering ...

Time crystals are physical systems that generate a special kind of order in time. Now scientists in Vienna discovered a new ...

For the first time, physicists have transformed a quantum processor into a state of matter that seems to defy physics, a breakthrough that could be a step toward making quantum computing more ...

In their ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of quantum possibilities, physicists in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis have created a new type of "time crystal," a novel phase ...

He and Ivan Smalyukh, professor of physics and fellow with the Renewable and ... following patterns that repeat over time. Under a microscope, these liquid crystal samples resemble psychedelic tiger ...
