Nature Communications, 2022 External physical forces can bias a spontaneous symmetry breaking process but whether the shape of a reactor plays a role in chiral symmetry breaking processes is an open question. Here, the authors demonstrate chirality transfer from the chiral shape of

Broken Time Translation Symmetry as a model for Quantum State Reduction [PDF]
Symmetry, 2, 582-608 (2010), 2009 The symmetries that govern the laws of nature can be spontaneously broken, enabling the occurrence of ordered states. Crystals arise from the breaking of translation symmetry, magnets from broken spin rotation symmetry and massive particles break a phase rotation symmetry.

On gauge invariance and spontaneous symmetry breaking [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 1997 We show how the widely used concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking can be explained in causal perturbation theory by introducing a perturbative version of quantum gauge invariance. Perturbative gauge invariance, formulated exclusively by means of asymptotic fields, is discussed for the simple example of Abelian U(1) gauge theory (Abelian Higgs model).

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Stem cell spheroids, produced via a high‐throughput microfabrication technique, are transported within a vortex generated at the outlet channels of a cross‐slot millifluidic chip. For Reynolds number exceeding 170–200, intermittent high shear stresses applied to each spheroid within the vortex trigger a massive release of biologically active ...

Phases of Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe study the vacuum dynamics of pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons (pNGBs) for SO(N + 1) → SO(N) spontaneous and explicit symmetry breaking. We determine the magnitude of explicit symmetry breaking consistent with an EFT description of the effective potential

Breaking rotations without violating the KSS viscosity bound
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We revisit the computation of the shear viscosity to entropy ratio in a holographic p-wave superfluid model, focusing on the role of rotational symmetry breaking.

, 2008 One of the most powerful ideas of modern theoretical physics is the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. It is at the basis of most of the recent achievements in the description of phase transitions in Statistical Mechanics as well as of collective phenomena in solid state physics.
