Time crystals are different from a standard crystal, which is composed of atoms arranged in a regularly repeating pattern in space.

First theorized in 2012 by Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek and identified in 2016, they exhibit the bizarre property of being in constant, repeating motion in time despite no external input.

Their atoms are constantly oscillating, spinning, or moving first in one direction, and then the other.
