Revolutionary Time Crystals: Visible Perpetual Motion Breakthrough by CU Boulder Scientists Imagine a clock that never needs power--where its hands and gears move perpetually without external energy . This futuristic vision inches closer to reality thanks to groundbreaking research by scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) . Using everyday liquid crystals--similar to those found in smartphone displays--they have constructed the first visible time crystal  an exotic state of matter where particles remain in continuous motion defying conventional physics. This breakthrough may not only revolutionize our understanding of physics but also lead to innovative applications across technology, security and data storage. What Are Time Crystals and Why Are They Revolutionary? Time crystals are extraordinary forms of matter where particles don't remain static or settle into fixed positions like in typical crystals (e.g., diamonds or salt). Instead, they exhibit perpe...
