Physicists in Finland are the latest scientists to create “time crystals,” a newly discovered phase of matter that exists only at tiny atomic scales and extremely low temperatures but also seems to ...

The erudite science of solid-state physics can predict from theory how strong a metallic crystal should be if all its atoms were arranged in a perfect, regular pattern. The figure is usually so high ...

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 ...

Mislabeled, lab-grown, and made from plastic—fakes abound in the crystals industry. Who’s going to do anything about it? By Maddie Stone Published Sep 12, 2023 9:00 AM EDT Get the Popular Science ...

But it’s not so easy to measure whether such bodily energy exists in the first place, Jarry says. Scientists can study other forms of energy, like gravity or the energy contained in food, because we ...
