In January 2024, physicists at TU Dortmund University demonstrated a continuous time crystal in a semiconductor whose ...

For the first time, scientists have observed a three-dimensional woven structure forming naturally inside a crystal, ...

Scientists carved a 13-sided shape called an "einstein" into a chip and discovered that it steers light in ways no other ...

Just when scientists thought they knew everything about crystals, a Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison collaboration has uncovered a hidden secret. Centrosymmetric crystals ...

The implications of the discovery of the time crystal mean that physicists now new puzzles to solve, relating to how time crystals form in the first place. Once this is pinned down, the potential ...

Researchers recently succeeded in producing a highly durable time crystal that lived millions of times longer than could be shown in previous experiments. By doing so, they have corroborated an ...

Researchers have developed a way to create photonic time crystals and shown that these bizarre, artificial materials amplify the light that shines on them. These findings could lead to more efficient ...

Photonic time crystals, whose properties change periodically, promise significant enhancements in microwave engineering, optics, and photonics. Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) ...

Scientists put carbon in a deep frozen magnetic field to create Wigner crystals. This elusive state results from electrons trying to escape each other in a small space. To capture the crystals, ...

Mesmerizing videos offer a new look at the ways crystals form. The real-time clips, described March 30 in Nature Nanotechnology, show closeup views of microscopic gold particles tumbling, sliding and ...
