In his new book Creating Symmetry, Frank Farris uses ideas from advanced mathematics, such as complex analysis and abstract algebra, to transform snapshots of landscapes, flowers, or even his dinner ...

Measuring the similarity between two arbitrary crystal structures is a common challenge in crystallography and materials science. Although there are an infinite number of ways to mathematically relate ...

For decades, temporal and inversion symmetry were taught as static geometric concepts, but 2026 has shattered that view with real-world demonstrations of symmetry in motion. From the first ...

IUPAC defines constitution and conformations, which in turn defines all molecules and materials through the specific connectivity of distinct sets of atoms placed at specific relative coordinates (x,y ...
