The visible patterns produced by the time crystals could be used for data storage and anti-counterfeiting designs.

Everything is born out of nothing. All you do is shine a light, and this whole world of time crystals emerges,” said University of Colorado Boulder physicist Ivan Smalyukh. In a field where most ...

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

Over the past few years, engineers and material scientists have been trying to devise new optical systems in which light ...

Researchers have studied the kinetic and thermodynamic processes of sugar crystallization in the making of fondant. They combine a controlled kneading machine with light microscopy to precisely ...

The new technique allows scientists to see each particle that makes up colloidal crystals and to create dynamic three-dimensional models. A team of New York University researchers has created a new ...

A group of chemics working with the Osaka University in Japan have identified a rare crystal that melts whenever it is exposed to ultraviolet light. The researchers published their findings in a new ...
