Woven textiles can do more than provide softness and strength. Their microscopic arrangement of yarns can also influence how ...

The spectral degeneracies emerging as a consequence of parity-time (PT) symmetry exhibit a profound divergence from their conventional counterparts. They possess non-Hermitian nature and are ...

Scientists have discovered that the transport of electronic charge in a metallic superconductor containing strontium, ruthenium, and oxygen breaks the rotational symmetry of the underlying crystal ...

A new Nature Neuroscience study shows that seemingly disordered mammalian head-direction circuits conceal the hidden circular ...

Techniques from computer science may help explain the tendency in biology for structures to repeat themselves. By Kate Golembiewski Symmetry runs rampant in nature. It’s present wherever mirror images ...

Rotational symmetry-broken mechanism for simplifying exceptional point achievement. (a) 3D model of waveguide coupled RTR. (b) Field distribution and (c) far-field pattern of RTR at EP. The spectral ...
