Or why snail shells always seem to coil to their right side? Is there asymmetry in nature? Sometimes known as chirality – turns out it’s more common than you might have guessed. From the tiniest ...

This small imbalance could have then amplified over time. But an asymmetry in the laws of nature has led others to wonder whether some physical phenomenon could have tipped the balance during the ...

are subject to a mirror-like asymmetry in nature's fundamental laws that causes matter and antimatter to behave differently. The discovery provides new ways to address why the elementary particles ...

We left-handed people are a minority among humans, roughly a 1:10 ratio.But make no mistake: the Universe loves left-handedness, from subatomic particles to life itself. In fact, without this ...

It’s even hiding in the structures of tiny things like proteins and RNA. While asymmetry certainly exists in nature (like how your heart is off to one side in your chest, or how male fiddler ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...

Human networks - criminal, terrorist, financial, cultural, etc. - are the keys to countering asymmetric threats. If we affect the networks, we can defeat emergent threats." The Adaptive Networks ...
