Space-time crystals, an important step toward new optical materials

Photonic space-time crystals are materials that could increase the performance and efficiency of wireless communication or laser technologies. They feature a periodic arrangement of special materials in three dimensions as well as in time, which enables precise control of the properties of light. Scientists have shown how such four-dimensional materials can be used in practical applications.
