TL;DR

A semiconductor cooled to near absolute zero hosts billions of electron-nuclear spin oscillators in InGaAs that synchronize to a single rhythm, via diffusion of spin-polarized electrons, turning many microscopic oscillators into a cohesive macroscopic time crystal with potential applications in spintronics and neuromorphic computing.
