Physicists created a classification of states of matter that pulse without an external command — like a metronome without batteries.

In the quantum world, time crystals have been discovered — structures that pulse on their own, without winding. Like a heart that beats forever. Scientists are organizing them into a new table, like chemical elements, to create ultra-precise clocks and new quantum devices.

🎯 The first time crystal was built from ten laser-cooled ytterbium atoms — like a tiny orchestra with an endless score.

🎬 As in the film Groundhog Day, where time is looped, time crystals exhibit cyclic behavior based on quantum laws.
