What are time crystals? And why are they so weird?

Washington University scientists have created a new phase of matter called “time crystals”—and an even more advanced version known as “time quasicrystals.” These strange materials can “tick” forever without using energy, like a clock that never stops. They’re made by bombarding diamonds with nitrogen beams to create tiny defects where electrons interact in quantum patterns. The result is a material that repeats in time the way normal crystals repeat in space. The real breakthrough is the time qu
