The experimental observation of a dissipative time crystal in a Rydberg gas
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in category: energy
A dissipative time crystal is a phase of matter characterized by periodic oscillations over time, while a system is dissipating energy. In contrast with conventional time crystals, which can also occur in closed systems with no energy loss, dissipative time crystals are observed in open systems with energy freely flowing in and out of them.
