Perpetual motion is possible – Scientists at Aalto University’s Low Temperature Lab observed the interaction of two time-crystals that bend the laws of physics
Time-crystals are a phase of matter in which the particles more in a perpetually repeating cycle with no external input of energy. Researchers were able to create two time-crystals at Aalto University’s Low Temperature Lab and observe their interaction. In the future, time-crystals might have applications in devices such as quantum computer memory components.

An atomic-scale window into superconductivity paves the way for new quantum materials
Researchers have demonstrated a new technique to measure the quantum excitations in superconducting materials with atomic precision for the first time. Detecting these excitations is an important step towards understand exotic superconductors, which could help us improve quantum computers and perhaps even pave the way towards room-temperature superconductors.
Professors got together to reflect on the future
The themes of this year's Professors' Summit included a preliminary idea of a cross-disciplinary bachelor's programme and the changing campus
