    We provide the first experimental realization of wavenumber bandgap (𝑞−gap) breathers. Experiments are obtained in the setting of a time-periodic phononic lattice where the model and experiment exhibit good qualitative agreement. 𝑞−gap breathers are localized in time and periodic in space, and are the counterparts to the classical breathers found in space-periodic systems. We derive an exact condition for modulation instability that leads to the opening of wavenumber bandgaps in which the 𝑞−gap breathers can arise. The 𝑞−gap breathers become more narrow and larger in amplitude as the wavenumber goes further into the bandgap. In the presence of damping, these structures acquire a nonzero, oscillating tail. The controllable temporal localization that 𝑞−gap breathers make possible has potential applications in the creation of phononic frequency combs, energy harvesting or acoustic signal processing.
