SCIENTISTS DISCOVER NEW TYPE OF MATTER

5 March 2024

Scientists in Germany have succeeded in producing highly durable a new type of matter that exists only at tiny atomic scales

Called "time crystals", this is the most mind-bending concept in modern physics that challenges a fundamental law of nature

Crystals are periodic arrangements of atoms over large length scales, which gives them their fascinating appearance

Atoms of normal, everyday crystals are arranged in a repeating pattern in space

But in case of time crystals, atoms are additionally arranged in a repeating pattern in time

Time crystals are created similar through the use of super-cooled atoms and lasers

In 2022, a study observed a continuous time crystal, but it only lasted for a few milliseconds

Now, researchers from TU Dortmund University have created a time crystal that lasted for about 40 minutes

The phenomenon was postulated by Nobel Prize laureate Frank Wilczek around 10 years ago

The concept played a central role in Marvel Studios' movie 'Avengers: Endgame' (2019)
