For decades, physicists have relied on the principle of symmetry to simplify and understand the complex behaviors of subatomic particles. Symmetry in physics basically means that some rules of nature ...

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State Professor of Physics Dipangkar Dutta is a principal investigator on a groundbreaking experiment—revealing “symmetry” in physics doesn’t always behave as scientists ...

Even though neutrons love to partner with protons to make the nucleus of an atom, the particles have always been notorious for their reluctance to bind with each other. But according to a new proposed ...

Initially regarded as a scientific curiosity upon its discovery in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, superconductivity has provided physicists with numerous theoretical challenges and experimental ...

Symmetry and invariance lie at the heart of modern physical theories, serving as guiding principles in our understanding of the natural world. These ideas are central to elucidating conservation laws ...

Symmetry Matters To understand why a paper that merely points out the breadth of lurking symmetries can make such a big impact, it helps to first understand how symmetry makes life easier for ...

Just as many of us are struck by the beauty of symmetrical patterns in nature and art, Chen-Ning Yang had a deep feeling for beauty and the role of symmetry in physics. It was work on a breakdown of ...

Symmetry writer Mike Perricone takes us through a selection of this year’s new popular physics books. The year 2019 was a banner one for Albert Einstein: It included the first image of a black hole ...
