A team at CU Boulder has made a curious state of matter in which particles move constantly—like a clock with hands and gears ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created the first time crystal that humans can actually see, using liquid crystals that swirl into never-ending patterns when illuminated by light ...
