Now, German scientists have made one that lasts 10 million times longer than in previous experiments. If we wanted to make an everyday object sound sci-fi, it could be said that what we commonly call crystals are actually ‘space crystals.’ Those things in your jewelry or just your salt shaker get their shape thanks to their atoms arranging themselves in a pattern that repeats across space. But since space and time are often treated as two components of the same ‘fabric,’ does that mean there are also crystals with patterns that repeat in time?” [// New Atlas »]( [/tech] [Unlocator - Spoof your location and watch TV from around the world | [Partner]]( [Spoof your location and watch TV from around the world]( Traveling is cool… until you lose access to all your favorite shows thanks to geoblocking.

Well, scan it first, then throw it away | [Partner]]( [Throw everything away. Well, scan it first, then throw it away]( Holding onto paper files isn’t just messy and inconvenient; it’s 100% more likely to cause a paper cut than going digital.
