The single crystals currently used in semiconductors, electronic devices, and optical devices can't take the heat. This is because the materials typically used to make them—such as iridium and ...

Researchers unveil a chemistry playbook to turn stubborn MAX phases into tunable 2D materials, blending MXene and ...

Researchers led by Genki Kobayashi at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan have discovered a way to max out ...

Crystals may be possible in time as well as space Theory proposes objects in their lowest energy state can loop in the fourth dimension forever ...

Two time crystals were made to interact in 2020 but this study is the first time that we are looking at the interaction of quasi-particles with a space-time crystal.

The fundamental challenge has been that creating photonic time crystals required materials to change their optical properties by nearly 100% – a feat that would demand enormous amounts of energy.

Their study is published in the journal Science. Josep-Lluís Tamarit and Pol Lloveras, with Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, in Spain, have published a Perspectives piece in the same ...
