Scientists have crafted a visible form of a “time crystal,” a strange phase of matter that moves in endlessly repeating patterns when illuminated. Using liquid crystals similar to those in phone ...

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, ...

Scientists have developed the first-ever time crystals that are visible to the human eye, and they could one day make their way onto $100 bills. The time crystals emerge from the kinks that appear ...
