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 ...

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.

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.

Months after physicists made a self-standing time crystal, they've made one that works at room temperature, expanding the real-world uses of the quantum matter.

Solar panels made from materials called perovskites could change how we generate electricity, opening the door to flexible and even transparent solar panels.

To make denser accelerator beams that may open new doors in physics, researchers have chilled ions in a miniature test accelerator until the ions coalesced into crystals.

Physicists in Finland are the latest scientists to create time crystals, a new phase of matter that have some truly strange properties.
