An experiment has visualized a prediction about objects traveling at the speed of light known as the Penrose-Terrell Effect, ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have proved to be a promising platform for studying exotic quasiparticles, such as excitons.

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 once believed - ...

“We found out two things. The first one is that the electronic state of Fe3Sn2 is nematic, a state that spontaneously breaks the rotation symmetry. The electrons behave as a liquid crystal inside this ...

The number of lines of symmetry in a regular polygon is equal to the number of sides. A shape has rotational symmetry when it can be rotated and it still looks the same. The order of rotational ...

Recognising line symmetry and rotational symmetry will also help. Look for any hash marks on the sides. The same number of hashes indicate equal lengths. Different numbers of hash marks indicate ...
