EPFL physicists have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the material. "The concept of time has troubled philosophers and physicists for ...

A team of researchers studying the uncertainties associated with a phenomenon known as cosmic birefringence has developed a method to reduce uncertainties in its observational measurements, according ...

Imagine a juggler tossing balls into the air. The art of juggling is a dance between motion and pause, where the ball’s speed slows as it ascends, and then quickens on the way down. This dance reveals ...

A high-contrast, color-stripped enhancement of 3I/ATLAS captured by Ray’s Astrophotography, revealing a dense luminous core, a surrounding dark halo, and a newly visible clockwise rotational wave ...

Symmetry plays a central role in quantum mechanics, serving as a foundational concept for understanding and predicting the behavior of quantum systems. Its deep connection to conservation laws, ...

KASAL is a project designed for determining the symmetry axis orientation and the rotation center of rotationally symmetric objects. When using KASAL, users need to specify one of the eight predefined ...

Crows are able to look at a handful of four-sided shapes and correctly distinguish those that exhibit geometric regularity from those that don't, according to a provocative new study. It's the first ...

Generation of circularly polarized nonlinear signals from chiral metasurfaces with rotational symmetry under arbitrarily polarized excitation. Left and right circularly polarized light, where the ...

Abstract: In pose estimation for objects with rotational symmetry, ambiguous poses may arise, and the symmetry axes of objects are crucial for eliminating such ambiguities. Currently, in pose ...

Rotational symmetry-broken mechanism for simplifying exceptional point achievement. (a) 3D model of waveguide coupled RTR. (b) Field distribution and (c) far-field pattern of RTR at EP. The spectral ...
