Rare Scientific & Technological Developments

Discovery of a New Type of Time Crystal: Physicists have reportedly discovered a mysterious new type of Time Crystal. Time crystals are rare states of matter that have a structural pattern that repeats in time, not just in space, which defies conventional physics and has only been created in laboratories. A new "type" would be a significant theoretical and practical breakthrough.

Unusual Auroras on a Planet Without a Star: Astronomers were stunned to observe fiery auroras blazing on a rogue planet—one that is not orbiting a star. Auroras typically require a star's solar wind, so this is an extremely rare and unexpected phenomenon that challenges our understanding of planetary atmospheres.

Water's Hidden State as Solid and Liquid: Scientists have reported that they finally captured water's hidden state that is both solid and liquid simultaneously. This is a rare, theoretical phase that, if confirmed, could completely rewrite textbooks on the physics of water.
