Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating ...

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in time itself. Instead of atoms arranging neatly into repeating patterns, ...

In normal crystals like salt or diamond, atoms are arranged in patterns that repeat over and over in a grid. However, imagine a crystal where atoms follow a set of rules, but never repeat—like a tiled ...

A newly proposed type of time crystal could stand alone. Time crystals are structures that repeat regularly in time, just as a standard crystal is composed of atoms arranged in a regularly repeating ...

Scientists have unveiled a novel time crystal exhibiting a structured yet non-repeating temporal pattern, a departure from traditional, perfectly cyclical time crystals. This discovery challenges ...
