A new piece in the matter–antimatter puzzle: A fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of baryons
On March 24, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN ...
Light-induced symmetry changes in tiny crystals allow researchers to create materials with tailored properties
Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a ...

Where can you find symmetry in nature?
Symmetry is when one side of a shape is a mirror image of the other side. Lots of buildings and everyday objects use symmetry because it looks appealing to the human eye. But, if you step outside ...

Building blocks of innovation: Light-induced symmetry changes in tiny crystals
Argonne researchers have shown that they can use light to temporarily alter the crystal symmetry within lead sulfide quantum dots. This process reduces the off-centering of lead atoms and affects the ...
