Meanings of rotational symmetry in English

Centrioles consist of nine-triplet microtubules arranged in rotational symmetry.

For example, the square also has rotational symmetry.

The atoms in the sample seemed to be arranged in a pattern that had a five-fold rotational symmetry.

This is most naturally explained by the domain formation, which breaks the fourfold rotational symmetry of the underlying tetragonal lattice.

A square arrangement, for example, has four-fold rotational symmetry -turn the atoms through 90 degrees and it will look the same.

The atoms in a solid material are arranged in an orderly fashion and that order is usually periodic and will have a particular rotational symmetry.

Our findings suggest that the hidden-order phase is an electronic "nematic" phase, a translationally invariant metallic phase with spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry.
