Newly Discovered Time Crystal Composed of Giant Atoms
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jul 11, 2024
A crystal typically consists of atoms arranged in a repeating pattern in space. In 2012, Nobel Prize laureate Frank Wilczek posed a question: Could there be a time crystal that repeats itself in time rather than space? Is it possible for a periodic rhythm to emerge naturally, without any external timing mechanism and with particle interactions independent of time? Wilczek's idea has been a
