Cracking the Devil’s Staircase: How a Time Crystal Danced Through Chaos

A team of physicists has made groundbreaking observations in a semiconductor-based time crystal by periodically driving it with light. As the frequency was altered, the system transitioned from perfect synchronization to complex chaos, forming structures known as the Farey tree and the devil’s staircase. These exotic patterns, never before seen in semiconductors, offer deep insight […] Read More
