Physicists have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by creating a time crystal that can be seen with the naked eye, marking the first realization of this elusive structure in a visible, real-world ...

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 ...

Time crystals could help create quantum computing data storage that lasts minutes, new research shows — a huge improvement on the milliseconds-long duration of existing quantum data storage. In the ...

European scientists have, for the first time, connected a time crystal to another system external to itself, which could one day help power quantum computers of the future. The scientists at Aalto ...

If you were able to visualize the passage of time, it may appear as looping ribbons of color, these fragments ribboning and glinting whenever they refracted light. Researchers at the University of ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers achieved the first experimental observation of a time rondeau crystal—a novel phase of matter where long-range temporal order coexists with ...

Fresh evidence suggests early Earth wasn’t locked under a rigid stagnant lid but was already experiencing intense subduction.
