Cover Story: The anisotropy of physical phenomena is indissociable from the symmetry of the considered system or the absence thereof. This interdependence is central to magnetism, where the pseudovector character of the spin and orbital magnetic moments renders geometry arguments particularly appealing. Theoretical investigations demonstrate how adatoms can be used to trigger and control the chirality of the magnetic interactions in small transition-metal alloy clusters. Quantitative relations between symmetry breaking, local atomic environment, and chiral couplings are revealed by performing quantum-mechanical calculations of the electronic energy of the alloy clusters and by carrying out a local analysis of the results for different magnetic textures, including their respective mirror images.

In medicals sciences and reliability engineering, the failure of individuals or units (I/Us) occurs due to independent causes of failure. In general, the symmetry between dependent and independent causes of failure is essential to the nature of the p...

Failure of the mimic muscles as a cause of facial nerve paralysis may result in significant asymmetry, which can be addressed by surgical reanimation procedures. Among those, the temporalis muscle transfer as advocated by McLaughlin is a single-stage...

For a connected graph G with vertex set V, denote by d(v) the degree of vertex v and d(u, v) the distance between u and v. The value Gut(G)=∑{u,v}⊆Vd(u)d(v)d(u,v) is called the Gutman index of G. Recently, the graph minimizing the Gutman ind...

The modal asymmetry between truth-telling and lying refers to the impossibility of a world in which everyone lies, while on the contrary, a world in which everyone tells the truth is possible. This ethical issue is relevant to modern concerns about e...
