For many applications, materials can be made a great deal more efficient by giving them a specific nanoscale structure. Materials that organise themselves to create the desired structures, without the need for complex procedures, are particularly interesting. A research team from Universität Hamburg, DESY, the European...

Scientists at Universität Hamburg have for the first time realized a time crystal phase stabilized by controlled dissipation. The researchers used an ultracold atom platform, where a Bose-Einstein condensate is strongly coupled to a high finesse optical cavity. Discrete time translation symmetry of the driven system is...
