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.
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.
Physicists at NYU just made styrofoam beads dance through time by suspending them on invisible sound waves, creating a breakthrough that rewrites the rules of physics. This surprisingly simple discovery could one day revolutionize quantum computing and help us understand our own biological clocks.
Physicists at New York University have discovered a new type of time crystal made from simple styrofoam beads that levitate on sound waves and defy traditional physics. The handheld device opens doors for quantum computing advances and helps us understand how our own bodies work.
Scientists discovered a crystal inside debris from the first nuclear bomb that shouldn't exist in nature. The 1945 Trinity test created atomic arrangements so rare that labs can barely reproduce them today.
A new time capsule being buried in Philadelphia on July 4 is engineered to survive until 2276—longer than any time capsule has lasted before. Special waterproof design and triple-layered protection will keep America's treasures safe for the next quarter millennium.
Four astronauts preparing to fly farther from Earth than any humans in history are featured on Time magazine's latest cover. Their February mission will take humanity back to the moon for the first time in over 50 years.
Chimpanzees at a Spanish rescue center couldn't resist shiny crystals, carefully examining them for hours and hiding them in their beds. The discovery hints that our love of gems and precious stones might stretch back millions of years in our evolutionary history.
Scientists discovered that daylight saving time prevents tens of thousands of deer deaths and saves human lives by keeping evening commutes lighter. The simple clock change could reduce deadly collisions by 14 times during peak hours.
Crystal Palace just captured three major trophies in 12 months, ending a 120-year wait for their first silverware. Manager Oliver Glasner led the once-struggling London club to the FA Cup, Community Shield, and Conference League glory.
Scientists at New York University discovered how to use light like a remote control to build microscopic crystals, melt them, and rebuild them again. This breakthrough could lead to displays that change color on command and sensors that adapt instantly to their environment.
After winning a World Cup, Olympic gold, and nearly every honor in soccer, Crystal Dunn is retiring at 33 to spend more time with her young son. Her decision reflects a growing shift in how elite athletes prioritize family alongside championship glory.
Researchers discovered a bizarre new type of crystal in the radioactive glass created by the world's first atomic bomb test in 1945. The find shows how extreme events create materials that don't exist anywhere else in nature.
Crystal Palace claimed their first-ever European title with a 1-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final, capping off a fairy-tale ending for departing manager Oliver Glasner. The south London club has transformed from 119 years without silverware to three major trophies in just two seasons.
Four legendary American ski and snowboard athletes earned spots on TIME's first-ever list of the 100 most influential people in sports. The recognition celebrates careers that redefined what's possible on snow and inspired millions worldwide.
A new book challenges the myth that we're all too busy, revealing surprising pockets of time hiding in our weeks. Author Laura Vanderkam shares 11 practical ways to feel less rushed and savor daily life.
Researchers have discovered a new form of matter made from spinning components that can twist, break apart, and reassemble on their own. These strange crystals could lead to breakthrough materials and technologies.
Indian researchers discovered molecular crystals that automatically repair deep cracks in less than a hundredth of a second, no heat or chemicals required. This breakthrough could revolutionize electronics by making devices that fix themselves.
