Time Quasicrystals, The New Quantum Phase That Redefines Temporal Order
Physicists at Washington University in St. Louis have forged a groundbreaking type of matter—time quasicrystals—inside a diamond by using a microwave-driven quasiperiodic pulse sequence to activate nitrogen-vacancy centers . Unlike traditional time crystals which exhibit fixed periodic rhythms, time quasicrystals vibrate in structured yet non-repeating patterns, much like a chord rather than a single note. This discovery anchors…
