Scientists Create Sound-Floating "Time Crystal" That Defies Newton's Third Law Of Motion
According to the team, this discovery not only advances understanding of time crystals but could also help understand natural processes like circadian rhythms.

James Webb Watches a Young Star Bake Crystals for Future Planets
Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have observed a young star in the Serpens Nebula forging crystalline silicates during powerful outbursts. The findings explain how heat-formed minerals can end up in cold cometary regions and planet-forming disks, shedding light on early stages of planet formation.

Toxic Gas May Have Sparked Life on Earth Through Icy ‘Cobweb’ Crystals
Researchers at Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology suggest that frozen hydrogen cyanide may have helped trigger the chemistry that led to life on Earth. Their simulations show HCN forming cobweb-like ice crystals whose reactive surfaces enable unusual chemical reactions even in extreme cold. These processes could generate amino acids, nucl...

Space Forge Tests World’s First Commercial Semiconductor Factory in Space
Space Forge’s ForgeStar-1 mission has proven that semiconductor manufacturing is possible in orbit. By generating plasma inside a mini furnace in microgravity, the UK startup showed that space conditions can enable far purer crystal growth than on Earth, potentially revolutionizing future electronics and energy-efficient chips.

China's Chang'e-6 Space Mission Discovers Tiny Iron Oxide Crystals On Moon
This study, based on samples for the first time, shows that highly oxidized minerals like hematite can exist on the Moon.

NASA Scientists Study Crystal Formation in Space For Future Applications
NASA said that the crystals formed in space are of improved quality than those on Earth due to the microgravity impact.

Exotic Crystals With Unique Structure Found in Dust From Chelyabinsk Meteor Explosion
Researchers have found unique carbon crystals having unusual shapes in the grains of preserved meteorite dust. The dust was the result of a space rock explosion that took place over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013.

ISRO, IISc Develop Bacteria-Infused 'Space Bricks' to Build Structures on Mars
Humans will require spaces to live in if they are to be sent to planets like Mars. So, the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bengaluru has collaborated with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to develop a prototype for Martian and lunar soil bricks to be used in the construction of habitats for human settlements on the Red Planet.
