A lot of things are symmetrical – cats, dogs (bilateral symmetry), planets, stars (spherical symmetry), galaxies, pies (radial symmetry) and a lot more, except for the Universe. If you look ...

image: Spherical atoms have the highest geometrical symmetry, and thus exhibit the high multiplicity of quantum states, usually called degeneracy.

Scientists have theoretically demonstrated that special tetrahedron nanostructures composed of certain metals have a higher degree of symmetry than the geometrical symmetry of spherical atoms.

Although cylindrical lenses share some common traits with conventional spherical lenses, the spherical symmetry in the latter makes them easier to describe, manufacture and test. The fabrication and ...

Spherical viruses aren’t as perfectly circular as we thought. November 9, 2018 ... any such viruses that have ever been examined have been looked at with the assumption that they had icosahedral ...

Consequently, spherical symmetry is broken and information is lost," says Prof. Francois Amblard, corresponding author of the study. In the case of the pond, ...

In 1939 Einstein published a paper in the journal Annals of Mathematics with the daunting title On a Stationary System with Spherical Symmetry Consisting of Many Gravitating Masses.

Structures of spherical viruses aren’t as perfect as we thought. ... any such viruses that have ever been examined have been looked at with the assumption that they had icosahedral symmetry,” said ...
