GERMANY, Jan 31, (Agencies): In a groundbreaking study challenging our conventional understanding of material aging, physicists at the Technical University of Darmstadt have uncovered a remarkable phenomenon.
In a significant breakthrough, they have successfully measured what they term "material time" -- an internal clock within the glass that operates independently of our conventional timekeeping methods.
Led by Till Bohmer and Professor Thomas Blochowicz from the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics, the research team has published their findings in the prestigious journal Nature Physics.
Their work unveils the surprising revelation that molecular movements within glass and plastic exhibit time-reversibility under specific conditions, challenging the prevailing notion of time as a unidirectional flow.
