Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York ...

A strange form of matter called a time crystal has fascinated physicists for about a decade. These systems move in repeating cycles, even without a steady external push. Now, researchers at New York ...
