Emergent discrete space-time crystal of Majorana-like quasiparticles in chiral liquid crystals
Hanqing Zhao, Rui Zhang, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Time crystals spontaneously break the time translation symmetry, as recently has been frequently reported in quantum systems. Here we describe the observation of classical analogue…

Space-time crystals from particle-like topological solitons
Hanqing Zhao, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Time crystals are unexpected states of matter that spontaneously break time translation symmetry either in a discrete or continuous manner. However, spatially-mesoscale space-time…
