Time crystals are an oddity of quantum physics, but new calculations show that these bizarre materials could be useful for building very accurate clocks. All crystals are defined by repetition – ...

Keeping perfect time is far trickier than it sounds. The world’s best clocks that are used for GPS navigation, satellite communication, and testing fundamental physics depend on carefully controlled ...
