An international research team has for the first time designed realistic photonic time crystals ---- exotic materials that exponentially amplify light. The breakthrough opens up exciting ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications, scientists have implemented the topologically ordered time crystal on a quantum processor for the first time. This marks a new era for quantum ...

The crystals need to be heated to temperatures exceeding 800 o C and suddenly cooled. If there is a way to convert the crystal directly to glass without the intermediate liquid phase, the power ...
