Record-Breaking Time Crystal Created
Physicists at TU Dortmund University have developed a time crystal that lasts 40 minutes, setting a new longevity record.
- The new time crystal lasts at least 40 minutes, surpassing previous records by ten million times.
- Developed using indium gallium arsenide, this time crystal exhibits periodic oscillations without external energy.
- Potential applications include more stable qubits for quantum computing and enhanced precision in timekeeping devices.
- The creation of the time crystal challenges conventional understanding of non-equilibrium thermodynamics.
- This breakthrough opens the door for further experimental investigation and real-world applications.
