Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Scientists recently spotted inflated rubidium atoms at room temperature behaving as a time crystal. Usually, this novel matter requires near absolute zero temperatures and elaborate equipment. A ...

Imagine a clock that doesn’t have electricity, but its hands and gears spin on their own for all eternity. In a new study, physicists at CU Boulder have used liquid crystals, the same materials that ...

Arguably the greatest engineering challenge in quantum computing is addressing these systems’ predilection for errors. Now, a new study from scientists from Australia and Poland says that creating a ...

Scientists have shown that time crystals are possible over the past decade, whereas at one time it was thought to be impossible. The discovery by the Boulder team lays claim to a time crystal existing ...

Photonic space-time crystals are materials that could increase the performance and efficiency of wireless communication or laser technologies. They feature a periodic arrangement of special materials ...
