For the first time, physicists have created a time crystal visible to the naked eye using liquid crystals, the same as those used for LCD screens. Under certain conditions, when they are illuminated, these crystals enter into motion and generate patterns following repetitive patterns over time. This progress could lead to various technological applications. The concept of temporal crystals was proposed in 2012 by the theoretician physicist Frank…
