This editorial is to set the stage for the new gold open-access, peer-reviewed journal Symmetries, Patterns, and Structures in Science published quarterly online by Scilight Press. This journal is to provide an exquisite worldwide forum for the rapid exchange of cutting-edge research results across all disciplines of science. We review the role of symmetry across natural, behavioral, and formal sciences. In physics, chemistry, and biology, symmetry guides fundamental laws, molecular structures, and organismal development. In the behavioral sciences, symmetry underpins decision-making, social behavior, and societal structures. The formal sciences, including mathematics and computer science, use symmetry for optimization and abstraction. We highlight symmetry’s unifying role, enabling interdisciplinary connections and offering insights into complex systems. By fostering collaboration, symmetry enhances scientific inquiry, advancing our understanding of interconnected phenomena and providing solutions to global challenges like climate change and economic instability.
