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

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 ...

Editor's Note: This article was updated on March 9 at 11:20 a.m. E.T. A bizarre new state of matter known as a time crystal seems to suspend the laws of thermodynamics almost indefinitely, two new ...

Adapted from an article run in CU Boulder Today by Daniel Strain A team led by RASEI Fellow Ivan Smalyukh has discovered a new type of liquid crystal that exists in perpetual, rhythmic motion, ...

Scientists have found a way to amplify light using time crystals. Time crystals are a newly discovered phase of matter that change constantly without ever burning energy. These new time crystals, ...

There is a phase of matter that emulates a crystalline structure in the fourth dimension, time, rather than just in space. This is exactly what scientists from the University of Granada (southern ...

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 once existed in only complex, quantum matter, ...

Scientists have shown that time crystals are possible over the past decade, whereas at one time it was thought to be impossible. The discovery by the Boulder team lays claim to a time crystal existing ...
