STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State Professor of Physics Dipangkar Dutta is a principal investigator on a groundbreaking experiment—revealing “symmetry” in physics doesn’t always behave as scientists ...

This suggested that the so-called "isospin symmetry" between up and down quarks might be broken by more than expected due to the differences in their electric charges and masses—a discrepancy ...

and the interface between particle physics and astrophysics. This year the focus was “Aspects of Symmetry.” “The TASI summer school draws many of the best and brightest students in theoretical ...

Underlying any rectification process is a broken symmetry—often a spatial mirror/inversion symmetry, though time-reversal symmetry breaking becomes key in magnetic systems. “At the most basic ...

Jan. 12, 2021 — Researchers are investigating symmetry violations in an effort to shed light on new physics. A recent paper reports progress on synthesizing and detecting ions that are among the ...

For that reason, research across physics is now building ... in terms of symmetries being broken: Symmetries that pertained in one phase no longer apply in the next. But not all phases have been ...

In the quest to understand how the turning of biological gears produces the unspeakably complex business of living, Fakhri found it natural to turn to physics — a field ... allows you to understand ...

The study shows that such systems exhibit asymmetric roughness, originating from a previously unidentified broken symmetry. A large class of problems in non-equilibrium statistical physics deal ...
