Physicists created the first time quasicrystal by using microwave pulses to drive nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, causing the system to oscillate in a non-repeating but orderly rhythm through time. This discovery reveals a new phase of matterβstructured in time rather than spaceβand opens up fresh possibilities for controlling quantum systems.
