For the first time, physicists have transformed a quantum processor into a state of matter that seems to defy physics, a breakthrough that could be a step toward making quantum computing more ...

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 ...

Physicists at TU Dortmund University have periodically driven a time crystal and discovered a remarkable variety of nonlinear dynamic phenomena, ranging from perfect synchronization to chaotic ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Time crystals oscillate in predictable patterns across time, similar to how normal crystals repeat in atomic structure. A type of time crystal known ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Physicists created time quasicrystals, an entirely new state of matter. Unlike time ...

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 ...

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 ...
