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

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 ...

For the first time, a time crystal has been built that can be directly seen by human eyes, rippling in an array of neon-hued ...

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 ...

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

Crystals might look simple, but their growth tells a far more complex and fascinating story. From grains of salt to diamonds, ...

Chinese researchers have discovered a peculiar crystal growth pattern in the lunar samples from the Chang'e-5 mission. Specifically, chromite nanocrystals can grow outward from the surface of olivine ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 218, No. 1133 (Jun. 25, 1953), pp. 255-268 (18 pages) The exact relationship between molecular ...

The discovery of a crystal whose atoms are packed in a pattern that never repeats has won Israeli scientist Daniel Shechtman the 2011 Nobel Prize in chemistry. The structures in quasicrystals, as they ...
