A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal ...

A team at CU Boulder has made a curious state of matter in which particles move constantly—like a clock with hands and gears ...

In their study, Zhao and Smalyukh created a space–time crystal in the nematic phase of a liquid crystal. In this phase the crystal’s rod-like molecules align parallel to each other and also flow like ...

First theorized in 2012, researchers are beginning to find new ways to implement this mind-bending technology.

According to IT Home, on September 7, physicists from the University of Colorado Boulder have recently successfully ...

Everything is born out of nothing. All you do is shine a light, and this whole world of time crystals emerges,” said University of Colorado Boulder physicist Ivan Smalyukh. In a field where most ...

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 ...

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that behaves unlike anything we've seen before. When a conductive Weyl semimetal ...
