Discovery of Time Crystals
Time crystals , a novel phase of matter first theorised by Frank Wilczek, exhibit periodic behaviour in time, spontaneously oscillating without external energy input. This concept challenges fundamental physics by breaking time-translation symmetry, similar to how spatial crystals break spatial symmetry. Experiments since 2017 have confirmed their existence in various quantum systems, demonstra…
