A team at CU Boulder has made a curious state of matter in which particles move constantly—like a clock with hands and gears ...

That’s close to what physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created—a new kind of time crystal made from liquid crystals, the same materials found in phone and TV screens. Unlike ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created the first time crystal that humans can actually see, using liquid crystals that swirl into never-ending patterns when illuminated by light ...

In a dim laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, a patch of liquid crystals has begun to move—slowly, rhythmically, endlessly. No batteries, no motors, no outside force driving the dance. Just light. What ...

In their study, Zhao and Smalyukh created a space–time crystal in the nematic phase of a liquid crystal. In this phase the crystal’s rod-like molecules align parallel to each other and also flow like ...

Scientists have released a video showing the world's first ever 'visible time crystals' that continue to move and change shape over time.

In a bold step toward science fiction becoming “science, but with a hangover,” physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created the first visible time crystal. A time crystal is ...

Everything is born out of nothing. All you do is shine a light, and this whole world of time crystals emerges,” said University of Colorado Boulder physicist Ivan Smalyukh. In a field where most ...
