Over the past decades, researchers have been trying to develop increasingly advanced and powerful quantum computers, which ...

Pushing the limits of how we see and manage magnetic behavior in tiny structures is key to developing future technologies, ...

Quasicrystals are intriguing materials with long-range atomic order that lack periodicity. It has been a longstanding question whether antiferromagnetism, while commonly found in regular crystals, is ...

“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 ...

One implication is that, like the elephant and the mouse, “big cities are not just bigger small cities,” says Michael Batty, who runs the Centre for ... optics, symmetry and group theory ...

A 2D shape could have line symmetry or rotation symmetry, or both! 3D shapes are described by their faces, edges and vertices. The faces can be the same shape or different, and a 3D shape could ...
