Scientists with Harvard University and the University of Maryland have both published papers in the scientific journal Nature claiming the existence of never before discovered “time crystals” — structures that pulse without requiring any energy:

These systems draw stability from random interactions that would normally disrupt other kinds of matter. “This is a new kind of order, one that was previously thought impossible. That’s extremely exciting,” says Vedika Khemani, part of the Harvard team and previously part of the group that originally theorized the existence of the new kind of state.
