The development of a robust continuous time crystal (CTC) in an electron-nuclear spin system represents a significant advancement in understanding the behavior of matter under specific conditions. This research, led by Alex Greilich and a team from TU Dortmund University, demonstrates a CTC in a tailored semiconductor, specifically an electron-nuclear spin system made of indium gallium arsenide. The CTC exhibits periodic auto-oscillations in response to continuous, time-independent driving, showcasing a novel phase of matter with potential for unprecedented studies on systems with nonlinear interactions
I knew it, this article was meant to quote Marvel at one point.
Not even Marvel could foresee the consequences of this, it’s for sure the next Nobel, it’s almost like inventing a Perpetuum Mobile. Once a pulse of energy is provided to this medium it continues to oscillate for an indefinite time.
