There is a certain old-fashioned elegance in the way Professor Nicolai Reshetikhin teaches. In an age dominated by digital presentations and slide decks, this world-renowned mathematical physicist ...

How a Booker Prize-Winning Work From India Redefined Translation An extraordinary author-translator collaboration produced a book, “Heart Lamp,” that was lauded for enriching the English language.

Emmy Noether was a mathematician who discovered perhaps the most profound idea in contemporary physics. Noether’s theorem, which she formulated in 1915, says that symmetries in the universe give ...

In 1933, just in the nick of time, she escaped to Bryn Mawr University in the US. And it is at Bryn Mawr that Noether’s story connects with Phillips’s own. As a physics student at Dartmouth College in ...

Emmy Noether discovered a deep connection between the existence of continuous symmetries and conservation laws in 1918. Conservation of energy, for example, is intrinsically linked to time-translation ...

Radially, NiS nanorods exhibit rotational symmetry but lack translational symmetry. In contrast, when observed from the side, the NiS nanorods show regular translational periodicity.

Translational symmetry shows how a tiling is really just one pattern repeated over and over. In this case, the tiling of the line …ABABABABABABA… can be thought of as infinitely many translated copies ...

A “time crystal”, as originally proposed in 2012, is a new state of matter in which the particles are in continuous oscillatory motion.Time crystals break time-translation symmetry. Discrete time ...

The designs on these rugs have translational symmetry—the patterns on the rugs repeat themselves. Juli Kosolapova via Unsplash. Sarah Hart, a mathematician at Birkbeck, University of ...
