A time crystal, a long-life quantum system approaching perpetual motion, has been hooked up to its environment for the first time, unlocking an intriguing way to increase quantum computational and ...

A glittering hunk of crystal gets its iridescence from a highly regular atomic structure. Frank Wilczek, the 2012 Nobel Laureate in Physics, proposed quantum systems––like groups of particles––could ...

Physicists have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by creating a time crystal that can be seen with the naked eye, marking the first realization of this elusive structure in a visible, real-world ...

Quantum computing is one of those technologies where real-world applications always seem to lie just over the horizon. The next big thing is announced before quickly becoming a forgotten article from ...

The Nvidia logo outside the company's offices in Shanghai, China, on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025. In the last two weeks, NVIDIA, the enabler and chief beneficiary of the AI craze, has bought into quantum ...

A time crystal is a form of matter that shows continuous, repeating patterns over time, much like how atoms in a normal crystal repeat in space. Examples once existed in only complex, quantum matter, ...
