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

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

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 have forged ahead in the field of quantum mechanics by creating a new phase of matter ...

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

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

Now, the team believes that because time crystals and quasicrystals are sensitive to quantum forces like magnetism, they could serve as long-lasting quantum sensors that never need recharging. This, ...

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.

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.

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