Phase transitions, shifts between different states of matter, are widely explored physical phenomena. So far, these ...

A change in the state of matter ... The time crystal is an exotic phase of matter where time-translational symmetry is broken. Here, the authors observe multiple continuous dissipative time ...

The most familiar examples of phase transitions involve temperature ... magnetic field and so on — all of which can induce a change in matter from one state to another. The Focus also includes ...

After decades of looking, researchers have seen a string of atoms go through a 1D phase change so elusive that it could only happen inside a quantum simulator. “One motivation [for our experiment] is ...
