In condensed matter systems, an essential characteristic of electrons besides charge and spin is the orbital degree of freedom (ODoF). It plays a crucial role in understanding unconventional ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

For more than 50 years, mathematicians have been searching for a rigorous way to prove that an unusually strong symmetry is universal across physical systems at the mysterious juncture where they’re ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you want to fully describe how the Universe works at a fundamental ...

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 ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have arrived at how what is known as time-reversal symmetry can break in one class of superconducting material. The results have been published in the ...
