Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

“Our system is remarkable because it’s incredibly simple,” said paper author and physicist David Grier of New York University ...

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York ...

Researchers have created a record-breaking "time crystal"—a bizarre phenomenon that sounds as if it came straight out of science fiction. A team from Germany's Technical University of Dortmund ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that a specially engineered tantalum-tungsten-selenium crystal spontaneously forms atomic clusters that generate local magnetism where none ...

Polyisocyanides are polymers distinguished by their helical structures, where the helix's winding direction (right- or left-handed) can be controlled through catalysts designed for synthesizing chiral ...

Ultraviolet and near-infrared light are widely used in modern technologies but are invisible to the human eye. Researchers ...

Invisible light beyond the range of human vision plays a vital role in communication technologies, medical diagnostics, and ...

Researchers recently succeeded in producing a highly durable time crystal that lived millions of times longer than could be shown in previous experiments. By doing so, they have corroborated an ...

The word “crystal” comes from the Greek “krystallos,” meaning clear ice. A crystal is defined as a solid material consisting of a three-dimensional periodic ordering of atoms, molecules or ions.
