Scientists create weird ‘time crystal’ from atoms inflated to be hundreds of times bigger than normal

23 July 2024

Physicists have created a new type of time crystal by inflating rubidium atoms to hundreds of times their usual size. These time crystals are a strange form of matter that repeats in time, much like a regular crystal repeats in space. This discovery could lead to new ways of exploring the properties of these exotic materials and potentially even building better quantum computers.
