It’s used for time travel.

Load them into the Delorean and let’s go back to 1952.

I noticed all the inconsistencies in the article too as well as drawing comparisons calling both electrons and nuclei both particles. The writer is not a science guy.
The concept and results are cool though and seem to make sense.

Can I install on my cubs so they will be on time? And is there a “clean your room crystal”?

So it does not appear to violate the laws of thermodynamics because it requires an external light pulse to start oscillating in time and then stops, although it might be that if it is not measured there are no oscillations until measured, in which case it can store energy indefinitely.

From the Bard AI:
Normal crystals: Think of a ball bouncing in place. It goes up and down, up and down, in the same way over and over again. That’s like a normal crystal, with atoms repeating their positions in space over and over.
Time crystals: Now, imagine the ball bouncing, but each time it goes up, it starts slightly higher. So, the pattern repeats, but it also changes slightly with each cycle. That’s the basic idea of a time crystal, where the pattern of atoms repeats in time, but with a twist.
But here’s the tricky part: According to the laws of physics, things tend to lose energy and eventually settle into a constant state. So, how can something keep changing in a repeating pattern forever without using up energy?

So, to put it layman’s terms, if I understand it correctly, a ball will bounce in a 3D up and down in a repeatable fashion. A time crystal will not use space, but uses time. It will bounce forward and backwards in time in a repeatable fashion.
That makes sense to me, if I understand it.

without any added energy. Pretty freaking cool.

Detectable energy anyway. There could be forms of energy that we cannot yet detect.

indeed. Energy has to come from somewhere, perhaps it comes from the fictional subspace.
