A groundbreaking experiment--reveals 'symmetry' in physics doesn't always behave as scientists once believed. Mississippi State Professor of Physics Dipangkar Dutta is a principal investigator on ...

Scientists have learned that they can intentionally cause symmetry breaking — or symmetry restoration — in quantum dots to create new materials with unique properties. In a recent study, researchers ...

These deviations caused the symmetry between the behaviors of up and down quarks to break down, suggesting that charge symmetry doesn’t always hold, at least not during fragmentation.

Meanwhile, at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a DOE Office of Science user facility at Argonne, they conducted ultrafast total X-ray scattering experiments using Beamline 11-ID-D to study ...

If you rotate an image of a molecular structure, a human can tell the rotated image is still the same molecule, but a machine ...

Scientists have discovered a new way that matter can exist—one that is different from the usual states of solid, liquid, gas ...

A new study published in Science Advances by researchers from the National Graphene Institute at University of Manchester and ...
