Insider Brief Researchers created a continuous space-time crystal in nematic liquid crystals using ambient light, showing ordered patterns that break both spatial and temporal symmetry. The crystals emerge from particle-like solitons, remain robust against perturbations, and can persist for hours while self-healing defects. Potential applications include optical devices, photonic modulators, Read more…
Insider Brief KAIST researchers used quantum computing to design multicomponent porous materials (MTVs), marking the first time quantum devices solved this class of materials problem. The method enables efficient exploration of millions of possible molecular structures, reducing the computational limits faced by classical approaches. Experimental validation confirmed the reliability of Read more…
