Figure 3: Self-selective feedback assembly of symmetry-breaking metamaterial in which structural reconfiguration is mediated by its own plasmonic property. In summary, we have demonstrated a self ...

Everything in nature has a geometric pattern—from the tiger's stripes and spirals in flowers to the unique fingerprints of ...

Examples exist in nature, including proteins ... as illustrated by their low degree of symmetry, without requiring a specific sequence. The macromolecules self-synthesize -- no further conditions ...

Adatoms are single atoms that get adsorbed onto the surface of a solid material and are known to hop randomly from one spot ...

From mesmerizing symmetry of spiraling sunflower seeds to mirror-like sides of the human body, patterns dominate nature. Aesthetic appeal aside, what advantage does repetition afford?

Next time you are touring your garden, walking on wooded trails, or exploring a beachside scenery, look for immaculate ...

By Kate Golembiewski Symmetry runs rampant in nature. It’s present wherever mirror images are repeated, like in the right and left halves of elephants or butterflies, or in the repeating ...

"Because our brains are so fine tuned to detect symmetry, is it possible that both the tools that we use to determine the laws of nature and indeed our theories themselves have symmetry in them ...

Symmetry abounds in nature, often in its most beautiful forms. A perfect snowflake, a blooming sunflower, a light-harvesting complex from a bacterium—they all exhibit striking symmetry ...

The results have been published in Nature Nanotechnology. The paper is titled "Feedback-driven self-assembly of symmetry-breaking optical metamaterials in solution." "We developed an innovative ...
