For more than 50 years, mathematicians have been searching for a rigorous way to prove that an unusually strong symmetry is universal across physical systems at the mysterious juncture where they’re ...
EPFL physicists have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the material. "The concept of time has troubled philosophers and physicists for ...
Reflective symmetry is when a shape can be folded in half, with either side of the fold being a mirror image of the other. Rotational symmetry is when a shape can be rotated and it still looks the ...
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, in general, allow the realization of unique quantum phenomena unattainable in the common ...
An update to technology more than a century old might be key to making the next big discovery in particle physics. This wiring diagram, drawn in 1994, is an early sketch of a concept that might help ...
To begin to understand what mathematicians and physicists see in the abstract structures of symmetries, let’s start with a familiar shape. We are fond of saying things are symmetric, but what does ...
