Nanopores unlock hidden chirality in exotic liquid crystals. (Nanowerk News) In physics, some of the most striking phenomena emerge when perfect symmetry shatters. This principle, known as spontaneous ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

In the initial setup, the particles are evenly distributed. But when the disc is placed on the particle bed and subjected to vibration, it spontaneously begins to spin in one direction, demonstrating ...

Chirality, or "handedness," is a fundamental property of objects, from galaxies to molecules, and plays a crucial role in biological systems. However, chiral compounds in living organisms such as ...

Supersymmetry in twisted bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides reveals energy bands with both trivial and non-trivial topology and demonstrates spontaneous symmetry breaking driven by Coulomb ...
