A standard time crystal is a new phase of matter that features perpetual motion without expending energy. According to Chong ...

Now, a team of physicists from Washington University in St. Louis have created a new type of time crystal called a ...

One way of creating a time crystal is to knock some of the carbon atoms out of the crystal lattice of diamond, creating what ...

It’s made up of six layers hand-polished between each application, the last of which contain tiny crystal particles sprinkled in. In the sunlight you can really see the crystals work their magic ...

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

In a new and significant breakthrough in the field of quantum physics, a team of researchers from Washington University in St ...

Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles. These hybrid particles exhibit the ...

In their ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of quantum possibilities, physicists in Arts & Sciences at Washington ...

Physicists at Washington University have forged ahead in the field of quantum mechanics by creating a new phase of matter ...

Quasi-particles are collective quantum elements of condensed matter. They are foundationally important for understanding ...

This was behavior unlike anything that simple particles might do. For instance, if the usually perfectly-ordered atoms in a crystal had even a single atom out of place, the electron waves ...

Scientists have developed a new type of time crystal – called a time quasicrystal – that could lead to breakthroughs in ...
