Physicists at NYU built a handheld device using foam beads and sound waves that breaks Newton's Third Law and could unlock secrets of quantum computing and human biology. The exotic time crystal fits in your palm and uses technology as simple as packing peanuts floating on acoustic waves.
Scientists at New York University have created time crystals you can see with your naked eye, suspended in mid-air by sound waves on a device small enough to hold in your hand. This breakthrough makes exotic quantum physics accessible and could revolutionize computing and data storage.
Scientists used a quantum computer with 144 qubits to create the most complex time crystal ever made, marking a breakthrough that could revolutionize how we design new materials. This achievement shows quantum computers are becoming powerful tools for scientific discovery.
Finnish researchers tracked 260 kids for eight years and discovered something surprising: more screen time was linked to better cognitive skills in teenagers. The secret may be what kids do on screens, not just how long they spend.
Physicists at New York University have created time crystals you can hold in your hand—made from styrofoam beads that float on sound waves and defy Newton's laws of motion. This breakthrough could unlock insights into everything from heart pacemakers to financial markets.
Indigenous cultures that view time as a spiral rather than a straight line are teaching scientists new ways to tackle environmental crises. Māori wisdom from New Zealand shows how rethinking our relationship with past, future, and nature could help communities prepare for what comes after ecological tipping points.
