In the iconic "Sound of Music" score, "My Favorite Things," a young Julie Andrews lists snowflakes as objects that bring her ...

Researchers have identified a particle that doesn’t obey time symmetry, meaning its behavior changes depending on whether time moves forward or backward. This breaks one of the most fundamental ...

NextEra Energy Inc. is in advanced talks to acquire closely held Symmetry Energy Solutions for about $800 million, according to people familiar with the matter. A deal for Symmetry, backed by Energy ...

Sea urchins have a body that is entirely made up of "head"—with a surprisingly complex central nervous system that functions, in essence, like an "all-body brain." This is the conclusion of an ...

Redefining the repeating pattern in photonic crystals creates tightly confined pathways for light while preserving symmetry, offering a simple route to ultracompact and low loss light circuits.

Last week, I promised to write about an animal found in the Gulf of Maine. You asked for it! This week, one of my patrons brought me a photo taken at Long Sands Beach in York, Maine. I had never seen ...

New research has identified Ikaria wariootia, a tiny wormlike creature from more than 555 million years ago, as the earliest known bilaterian animal. This discovery, detailed in a study published in ...

People with symmetry OCD feel intense distress when things don’t feel “just right” or aren’t symmetrical, even if there’s no clear logic behind it. Symmetry OCD isn’t a personal choice or trait.

USC researchers developed an optical filter that preserves quantum entanglement using anti–parity-time symmetry. This breakthrough enables more reliable quantum technologies and was successfully ...
