The fundamental laws of physics insist that no patterns can permanently survive nature’s steady course towards disorder – or can they? A new proof offers a peculiar counterexample to the once-settled notion that all collections of particles must eventually succumb to entropy.

“Our result might seem quite surprising,” says
