Hypothesis suggesting that the spatial constraint imposed by cell width influences nuclei positions and stepwise nucleation. As the cell width increases, interface fluctuations, symmetry breaking, and ...

Almost all animals have symmetrical bodies. Bilateral symmetry is almost universal in all animals and is only very rarely broken—with exceptions like the five-armed starfish or crab species that have ...

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 ...

Researchers uncover physical laws explaining why cracks in materials break their symmetry while spreading. The findings lay the groundwork for the design of more resilient materials. (Nanowerk News) ...
