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 ...

The human visual system exhibits a remarkable ability to decipher the three-dimensional structure of the world from two-dimensional retinal images. Central to this process is the utilisation of shape ...

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 ...

UPTON, NY--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 ...

A group of mathematicians has shown that at critical moments, a symmetry called rotational invariance is a universal property across many physical systems. For more than 50 years, mathematicians have ...

This odd behavior may promote the material's ability upon cooling to perfectly conduct electricity in a way unexplained by standard theories. Scientists have discovered that the transport of ...
