Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis , Missouri , have created a new type of time crystal, a quasicrystal, a unique phase of matter that challenges conventional notions of motion and time.

Their particles follow a repeating pattern, but in time rather than just space, meaning they vibrate or “tick” at constant frequencies, making them crystalized across space and time, and their ability to oscillate indefinitely has drawn significant interest in quantum computing.
