Electron Beam Lithography is a high-resolution patterning technique that uses a focused electron beam to write patterns on a substrate coated with an electron-sensitive resist. After developing the ...

“Everything is born out of nothing,” said Ivan Smalyukh, a physicist at the University of Colorado Boulder. “All you do is shine a light, and this whole world of time crystals emerges.”. In a paper in ...
