Every crystal's shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of its molecules, but the molecules in photoswitchable crystals ...

Once considered an oddity of quantum physics, time crystals could be a good building block for accurate clocks and sensors, ...

Time crystals, a collection of particles that "tick"—or move back and forth in repeating cycles—were first theorized and then ...

These newly discovered spinning crystals twist, break, and heal themselves, revealing a strange new side of solid matter.

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.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, in general, allow the realization of unique quantum phenomena unattainable in the common ...

With an image from the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA finds clues outside the solar system that explain crystals born in ...

Although healing crystals can create a mood boost, a heightened sense of self-awareness and a perceived feeling of serenity, most of the belief in the scientific community is that crystal healing and ...

Time crystals break time-translational symmetry rather than spatial symmetry, as ordinary crystals do. Peter Hannaford and Krzysztof Sacha look at how this exotic state could have similar applications ...

Whether you sneak them into your pocket before an interview for a pinch of luck, display them on your dresser to instil a sense of calm, or adorn your ears with them for their vibrational (and ...
