In particular, tilings using only regular polygons have great visual appeal ... The resulting patterns simultaneously have global crystallographic symmetry and local cyclic or dihedral symmetry.

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 ...

Isospin symmetry decrees that these two processes, known as the favored fragmentation processes because they are more likely to occur, happen with the same probability. In kind, the unfavored ...

Physicists have so far lived in the belief that a similar symmetry of the initial and final states, called flavor symmetry, occurs in collisions between particles containing up and down quarks.

This line arrives during the refrain of the final song—“Big Doink”—but honestly, it summarizes the world’s need for Pet Symmetry’s latest album, Big Symmetry. Sure, it was born out of ...

As my last post explained, my new book, Constitutional Symmetry: Judging in a Divided Republic, argues that judges should favor, when possible, constitutional understandings that offer valuable ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional aperiodic tilings are collections of polygons, devoid of any translational symmetries, capable of covering a plane without gaps and overlaps. Although aperiodic, these ...

In the realm of high-performance IC (integrated circuit) design, symmetry is not just an aesthetic preference—it’s a critical factor for ensuring proper device functionality, especially in analog and ...

Regular polygons have the most symmetry in that their sides all have equal lengths and their angles all have equal measurements (like squares and equilateral triangles but unlike rectangles and ...
