How is it possible for the ISS to stay in orbit? Learn more about the science behind orbiting Earth and more in this NASA ...
Surprising as it may sound, 107 years after the introduction of general relativity, the meanings of basic concepts are still being worked out. More than a century after Albert Einstein unveiled ...
When a magnetic material is bombarded with short pulses of laser light, it loses its magnetism within femtoseconds (10 –15 seconds). The spin, or angular momentum, of the electrons in the material ...
Every dazzling jump on the ice—like Yuzuru Hanyu's quadruple Lutz at the 2017 Grand Prix of Figure Skating in Moscow, Russia—requires a mastery of balance, rotational speed and angular momentum. Aflo ...
In a new study published in Nature Physics, scientists have achieved the first experimental observation of phonon angular momentum in chiral crystals. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...
Rotating objects carry angular momentum; this fact extends even to the tiniest of particles, such as photons. Photons possess not one but two distinct forms of angular momentum: spin angular momentum ...
Six photons: physicists in China have entangled photons in terms of polarization, position and orbital angular momentum. (Courtesy: iStock/CopterAnansak) Physicists in China have fully entangled 18 ...
