“Our system is remarkable because it’s incredibly simple,” said paper author and physicist David Grier of New York University ...

According to the team, this discovery not only advances understanding of time crystals but could also help understand natural processes like circadian rhythms.

Researchers report the first observation of a new type of time crystal that seemingly defies Newton's Third Law of Motion.

A time crystal as seen under a microscope. 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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
