Arts and Science researchers developed particles that use sound waves to swing in the air without external forces to determine their rate of oscillation. The discovery could further research on other ...

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

A team of New York University researchers announced in early February 2026 that they had created “levitating” time crystals, ...

Time crystals could one day provide a reliable foundation for ultra-precise quantum clocks, new mathematical analysis has ...

“Our system is remarkable because it’s incredibly simple,” said paper author and physicist David Grier of New York University ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...
