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 ...

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

A pair of University of Houston professors and experts in crystallization have captured the first-ever real-time images of ...

Time crystals are like a clock that never needs winding or batteries. “In theory, it should be able to go on forever,” Zu said. In practice, time crystals are fragile and sensitive to the environment.

Physicists have long been fascinated by the concept of symmetry breaking, a fundamental principle in physical sciences that ...

A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic ...

This is where our work on flexible crystals comes in. Crystals, which are normally hard and brittle, are made up of a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules. Because the atoms or molecules are ...

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years.
