Time crystals-how scientists created a new state of matter
(PHYSorg.com Physics)

Some of the most profound predictions in theoretical physics, such as Einstein`s gravitational waves or Higgs` boson, have taken decades to prove with experiments. But every now and then, a prediction can become established fact in an astonishingly short time. This is what happened with `time crystals`, a new and strange state of matter that was theorised, disproved, revamped and finally created in just five years since it was first predicted in 2012.
