“All crystals are a solid whose atoms or molecules are regularly arranged into a particular structure in space.

And it is the same with space-time crystals: however, the recurring structure exists not only in space, but also in time.

The smallest components are constantly in motion until, after a certain time, they re-arrange themselves into their original pattern again.

Periodic pattern consisting of magnons is formed at room temperature

A team of researchers has succeeded in creating a micrometer-sized space-time crystal consisting of magnons at room temperature. With the help of an ultra-precise X-ray microscope, they were able to capture the recurring periodic magnetization structure in a movie. The research project “Real space observation of magnon interaction with driven space-time crystals” was published in Physical Review Letters:
