Researchers observe time crystal in a spin maser system
SMRTR summary
Scientists observed a time crystal in a spin maser system, revealing a new phase of matter that breaks time-translation symmetry. A team from China found that under specific conditions in a Rb-Xe hybrid atomic spin maser system, a distinct spin oscillation signal emerges with a frequency differing from the original spin Larmor precession. This observation aligns with time crystal definitions and offers an alternative to existing schemes. The discovery may impact fundamental studies and precision measurement physics applications.
