It seems obvious, then, that, cosmically speaking, everything spins—but this basic fact becomes downright bizarre in the head ...

In fact, only three factors can be used to define a black hole: its mass, its angular momentum and its electric charge. In reality, that charge will be neutral or very close to it, so in practical ...

A puzzling form of superconductivity that arises only under strong magnetic fields has been mapped and explained by a ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.

The conservation of angular momentum means that in a spinning object not acted upon by an external force, the momentum will ...

While quantum mechanics explains the small-scale, low-energy behavior of electrons, relativity becomes important when those same electrons move fast enough for strange effects like spin-orbit coupling ...

Abstract Recent interest in orbital angular momentum has led to a rapid expansion of research on spin-orbit coupling effects in solids, while also ...

Scientists have discovered a mysterious phenomenon that is accelerating the Earth’s rotation, leading to shorter days.In the ...

If summer feels like its flying by - you may be right. Earth has seen a stretch of historically shorter days this month as ...
