A time crystal is a structure that does not repeat in space, like normal three-dimensional crystals such as snowflakes or diamonds, but in time. In practice this means that crystals constantly undergo spontaneous change, breaking the symmetry of time by achieving a self-sustaining oscillation. An international team of researchers (Finland, UK, Russia) has demonstrated quasi-crystals by studying the Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons in superfluid Helium-3. They observed the time quasicrystal and its transition to a superfluid time crystal… read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE
