In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers achieved the first experimental observation of a time rondeau crystal—a novel phase of matter where long-range temporal order coexists with ...

It was long thought that all crystals are made of atoms ordered into a periodic repeating pattern — analogous to the way in which hexagonal cells form the repeated pattern of a honeycomb, for example, ...

In April 1982, Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: the quasiperiodic crystal. According ...
