Owing to the many different ways atoms can be arranged within the material, ice can exist in many more forms than what’s known as ice I, the type we’re all familiar with. Scientists have actually ...

Time crystals are a strange state of matter with properties that sound impossible, but they have been created. Now, German scientists have made one that lasts 10 million times longer than in previous ...

Like a perpetual motion machine, a time crystal forever cycles between states without consuming energy. Physicists claim to have built this new phase of matter inside a quantum computer. In a preprint ...

Developing and manufacturing effective, safe, reliable new drugs or critical new materials for use in semiconductors or applications involving dangerous materials requires many layers of knowledge.

New time crystal achievement could help bridge classical and quantum physics. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Physicists have ...

A new take on sonocrystallization is showing industrial promise thanks to experimental investigations at Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron research facility. Joe McEntee reports ...

In what could prove to be a momentous accomplishment for fundamental physics and quantum physics, scientists say they’ve finally figured out how to manufacture a scientific oddity called a time ...

Time crystals are a true anomaly as they violate the law of conservation, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. The crystals are incredibly rare, but now scientists at Yale ...

A recent study published in Nature Materials examined how machine learning is used to reveal the atomic mechanisms of argyrodites, which could open the doors for a new age of energy storage. This is ...

Topological materials promise electronics that are faster, cooler, and far more robust, but until now they have mostly ...

Numerical programming and computer simulations are ubiquitous through all subjects in physics. Thus, computational physics has grown to be an appealing field for those who wish to acquire advanced and ...
