00:00Researchers bend time inside a diamond, unlocking a new phase of matter.

00:05Researchers at Washington University created a new phase of matter,

00:09discrete time quasi-crystal, challenging theories on motion and time,

00:14with potential for advances in automation and signal processing.

00:21Washu researchers expanded time crystals into time quasi-crystals,

00:25a new phase of matter that vibrates at multiple frequencies,

00:28like playing a chord instead of a single note.

00:34Washington University researchers created discrete time quasi-crystals

00:38by removing carbon from diamonds,

00:40using microwave pulses to initiate rhythmic order in these tiny, micrometer-sized structures.

00:49Time quasi-crystals could replace quartz oscillators in electronics,

00:52offering better consistency and energy efficiency,

00:55but researchers still need to figure out how to track their signals.

00:59Quasi-crystals might power computers,

01:01as time crystals could tick without energy loss, aiding quantum computers.

01:06They could store quantum memory like RAM, said Zhu, noting creation is a crucial first step.

01:11To the next step.

01:13Next step.

01:15Then go back to what?

01:17Back to the next step.

01:19Now hang on to the next step.

01:22Back to the next step.

01:23Now you have to look up,

01:24and see you next step up.

01:27The next step is the next step.

01:29To the next step.

01:31The next step is to the second step.
