are visible to the naked eye: The novel concept of latent symmetries describes a type of order deeply hidden within the system’s spectral properties. Prof. Alexander Szameit, head of the Rostock team, [...] between two nodes of the network is possible because they share the same “spectral fingerprint,” – the defining characteristic of a latently symmetric structure. By overcoming the reliance on conventional [...] and flowers to the fundamental interactions of particles and the laws of physics governing them. Conventional symmetries such as translation, rotation, or reflection symmetry, manifest in the system’s geometric
