Where did I put my science books I hear ya loud and clear. My undergrad degree is in Physics, but that was 1974, it's all a blur now... And largely obsolete too.

The researchers believe they can demonstrate this elusive property by using oscillating trapped ions or superconducting qubits to represent a floquet time crystal. The experiment would observe how the system evolves over time to see whether TTS broke spontaneouslyI feel a song coming on.
