In geometry, an object exhibits symmetry if it looks the same after a transformation, such as reflection or rotation. Symmetry is important in art, math, biology and chemistry.

Symmetry Now that we’ve discussed the fact that most connections are full duplex (pipes for each direction), let’s talk about symmetry. A symmetrical connection has the same sized pipe or the ...

It is as though the overall global symmetry of the form of the butterfly imposes its symmetry on the perceived motion, which necessarily means opposite directions for the two halves of the display.

To begin to understand what mathematicians and physicists see in the abstract structures of symmetries, let’s start with a familiar shape.

A diagram used to prove that quantum gravity cannot have any global symmetry. Symmetry, if existed, could act only on the shaded regions in the diagram and causes no change around the black spot ...

Researchers describe how symmetry may be the key to growing collagen fibres outside the body.

The combination of charge conjugation, parity, and time-reversal symmetry is known as CPT. And it must never be broken. Ever.

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 ...
