Newly discovered Time Crystals may wiggle forever

Scientists have detailed a new sort of crystal which creates what they define as “a new phase of matter.” This Time Crystal is “also really cool because it is one of the first examples of non-equilibrium matter,” said lead researcher Norman Yao from the University of California, Berkeley. In other words, these crystals are perpetually in motion as they cannot settle into equilibrium. While the atoms in these crystals are able to settle into a pattern, they cannot stop moving altogether. -More-
