Spirographs, invented in 1962, are toys that create geometric patterns using gears. These designs are used in art and similar patterns can be found in nature.

By observing tiny ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that propagate away from colliding black holes, ...

Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights ...

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it helps if the object of your gaze is symmetrical. Studies show humans associate symmetry with attractivenes ...

In an article published in Physical Review Letters on Thursday, scientists carried out an innovative study testing the existence of mirror asymmetries in our universe by studying the handedness of the ...

They could be missing some rotation players, though, as they have two players listed on their injury report for Tuesday’s game. Jrue Holiday (right shoulder impingement) and Al Horford (left big ...

By leveraging the unique properties of chirality and rotational symmetry, this breakthrough eliminates the need for bulky optical setups, enabling more compact and efficient optical devices. This ...

Generation of circularly polarized nonlinear signals from chiral metasurfaces with rotational symmetry under arbitrarily polarized excitation. (Image: SUTD) The team’s proposed metasurface exhibits ...

Sasaki’s addition only amplifies what was already a laughably stacked projected rotation for the Dodgers, forming one of the more astonishing quintets of starting pitching talent the game has ...

The Dodgers rotation is full of top-level talent and incredible potential. Ohtani, in his last season as a pitcher in 2023, had a 3.14 ERA with 167 strikeouts across 132 innings pitched.

They have published their research in the Physical Review Letters paper "Enabling all-to-circular polarization up-conversion by nonlinear chiral metasurfaces with rotational symmetry." The team's ...
