Crystal time-reversal symmetry breaking and spontaneous Hall effect in collinear antiferromagnets [PDF]
Identification of a previously overlooked spontaneous Hall effect mechanism creates opportunities in low-dissipation spintronics. Electrons, commonly moving along the applied electric field, acquire in certain magnets a dissipationless transverse ...

Recent progress on superconductors with time-reversal symmetry breaking [PDF]
Superconductivity and magnetism are adversarial states of matter. The presence of spontaneous magnetic fields inside the superconducting state is, therefore, an intriguing phenomenon prompting extensive experimental and theoretical research.

Semaphorin Breaks Symmetry [PDF]
Axon-dendrite polarity is likely instructed by extrinsic cues in the developing nervous system, though the mechanisms governing this process remain to be fully elucidated. In this issue of Neuron, Shelly et al. show that the axon guidance cue Semaphorin 3A can promote dendrite growth by inhibiting axon specification.

Visualizing the Breaking of Symmetry [PDF]
Axon specification is a hallmark of neuron polarization. Although several models have been proposed, few studies have provided clues about polarization events in real time. Using time-lapse imaging, a recent study described visualizing symmetry-breaking events during this process.

Applications of Symmetry Breaking in Plasmonics
Plasmonics is one of the most used domains for applications to optical devices, biological and chemical sensing, and non-linear optics, for instance. Indeed, plasmonics enables confining the electromagnetic field at the nanoscale.

Hsp90: Breaking the Symmetry [PDF]
Hsp90 chaperones receive much attention due to their role in cancer and other pathological conditions, and a tremendous effort of many laboratories has contributed in the past decades to considerable progress in the understanding of their functions. Hsp90 chaperones exist as dimers and, with the help of cochaperones, promote the folding of numerous ...

Lorentz symmetry breaking -- classical and quantum aspects [PDF]
In this book, we review various aspects of the Lorentz symmetry breaking, both classical and quantum ones, with the special interest to perturbative generation of Lorentz-breaking terms. We present impacts of Lorentz symmetry breaking in noncommutative and supersymmetric theories.
