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

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

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

The film provides an introduction to crystal growth and structure, focusing on sodium chloride (common salt) as a primary example. It details the process of crystal formation under a microscope, ...

Prior research has shown that they have zero viscosity and are formed in crystal-like structures similar to the way atoms are arranged in salt crystals. Because of their nature, supersolids have been ...

Italian researchers have turned light into a quantum ‘supersolid’, an achievement which they called “pretty awesome”.

The present article describes the application, at low resolution, of the isomorphous replacement method in three dimensions to type A crystals of ... resolve individual atoms it would be necessary ...

Superconducting circuits are being used to create new types of quantum systems that are much easier to control and much more tunable than natural quantum systems like atoms. (Microscopic picture of ...

Crystals, which are normally hard and brittle, are made up of a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules. Because the atoms or molecules are stacked neatly in place, it is hard to move them.

In materials such as crystals, atoms form repeating patterns called lattices, which can vibrate in waves known as phonons. While much is understood about phonons in the bulk material, little is ...
