Two Beads, One Standing Wave: A Lab-Scale Time Crystal

NYU researchers demonstrate a classical time crystal using an acoustic standing-wave field to levitate and couple tiny polystyrene beads; through non-reciprocal scattering of sound, the beads self-sustain a temporal oscillation without external driving, making it the simplest possible time-crystal system and offering a macroscopic platform to study non-reciprocity. The findings are reported in Physical Review Letters.

"Discovery of a Novel Subatomic Particle Confirmed"

The BESIII collaboration has observed an anomalous line shape around the ppbar mass threshold in the J/ψ→γ3(π+π-) decay, indicating the existence of a ppbar bound state, with a new resonance X(1880) discovered near the ppbar mass threshold. The mass and width of X(1880) were determined to be 1882.1±1.7±0.7 MeV/c2 and 30.7±5.5±2.4 MeV/c, respectively, supporting the existence of a ppbar bound state. This result was published in Physical Review Letters and selected as "Featured in Physics."
