Chemical micromotors self-assemble and self-propel by spontaneous symmetry breaking.
Chemical Communications, 2018 Self-propelling chemical motors have thus far required the fabrication of Janus particles with an asymmetric catalyst distribution. Here, we demonstrate that simple, isotropic colloids can spontaneously assemble to yield dimer motors that self-propel. In

Spontaneous breaking of classical PT symmetry [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2007 The classical trajectories of the family of complex PT-symmetric Hamiltonians H=p2+x2(ix)ϵ (ϵ⩾0) form closed orbits. All such complex orbits that have been studied in the past are PT symmetric (left-right symmetric). The periods of these orbits exhibit an unusual dependence on the parameter ϵ. There are regions in ϵ of smooth behavior interspersed with

Gravity Theories with Background Fields and Spacetime Symmetry Breaking
, 2017 An overview is given of effective gravitational field theories with fixed background fields that break spacetime symmetry. The behavior of the background fields and the types of excitations that can occur depend on whether the symmetry breaking is ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Wrinkling of soft materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), underpins a myriad of technologies. Plasma‐oxidation of PDMS induces spontaneous wrinkling, which is canonically attributed to thermal expansion‐contraction of bilayers. Employing experiments and modelling, it is demonstrated that sorption of water vapor is instead responsible for ...

symmetry broken supersolid in spin–orbit-coupled Bose–Einstein condensates
New Journal of PhysicsSupersolid is an exotic state of matter characterized by both superfluid properties and periodic particle density modulation, due to spontaneous breaking of U (1) gauge symmetry and spatial translation symmetry, respectively. For conventional supersolids,

Entanglement-enabled symmetry-breaking orders
SciPost Physics CoreA spontaneous symmetry-breaking order is conventionally described by a tensor-product wavefunction of some few-body clusters; some standard examples include the simplest ferromagnets and valence bond solids. We discuss a type of symmetry-breaking orders,

The complex Langevin analysis of spontaneous symmetry breaking induced by complex fermion determinant [PDF]
, 2016 A bstractIn many interesting physical systems, the determinant which appears from integrating out fermions becomes complex, and its phase plays a crucial role in the deter-mination of the vacuum.

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is the result of parity-time symmetry breaking
, 2018 Parity-Time (PT)-symmetry is being actively investigated as a fundamental property of observables in quantum physics. We show that the governing equations of the classical two-fluid interaction and the incompressible fluid system are PT-symmetric, and ...
