Andrew Rogers: physicists have spotted mirror symmetry violation in strontium-73 and bromine-73. (Courtesy: UMass Lowell) Physicists in the US have made the surprising discovery that two nuclear ...

In physics, symmetry is a big deal, specifically with regards to matter and antimatter. If both were created in equal quantities in the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago, why has matter prevailed, but ...

In an early chapter of his interesting new book, Symmetry: A Journey Into the Patterns of Nature, Marcus du Sautoy describes a visit to the Alhambra, the great Moorish palace in Granada, Spain. He and ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., September 17, 2019 -- In a kaleidoscope, mirrors are placed at angles to create a visual illusion of multiple, symmetric images from one original object. The number of symmetric axes ...

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 ...

Women have more orgasms during sex with men who are more symmetrical. Does this penchant for order cloud our ability to see the universe accurately? A new book by theoretical astrophysicist Mario ...
