Experiments show that a time crystal based on magnons can interact with mechanical waves without being destroyed.

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, ...

Imagine a clock that doesn’t have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used liquid crystals, ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created the first time crystal that humans can actually see, using liquid crystals that swirl into never-ending patterns when illuminated by light ...

Time crystals oscillate in predictable patterns across time, similar to how normal crystals repeat in atomic structure. A type of time crystal known as a continuous time crystal (CTC) resembles ...
