It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

Physicists have demonstrated that waves can bounce off boundaries in time, not just in space, producing signals that behave ...

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

Time may feel smooth and continuous, but at the quantum level it behaves very differently. Physicists have now found a way to measure how long ultrafast quantum events actually last, without relying ...

Clocks might be far more fundamental to physics than we ever realized. A new theory suggests what we see around us – from the smallest of quantum actions to the cosmic crawl of entire galaxies – could ...

Once considered an oddity of quantum physics, time crystals could be a good building block for accurate clocks and sensors, ...

Time is not to be trusted. This should come as news to no one. Yet recent times have left people feeling betrayed that the reliable metronome laying down the beat of their lives has, in a word, gone ...
