Thanks to Jack B. for finding this article on Time Crystals, a strange form of matter found in a quantum computer of all places!
This is a material that is switching back and forth between two different quantum energy states when created in a very cold environment. There is no loss or gain of energy externally, and effectively there is no increase in entropy of the system. It is described to be like a pendulum that never stops swinging; there is no change or randomness in its switching behavior as long as it is in this strange state.
