During the 2026 Winter Olympics, athletes will leap off ramps, slide across ice and spin through the air. These performances ...

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 ...

The study of black holes within the framework of General Relativity has long been enriched by investigations into angular momentum inequalities. These inequalities serve as geometrical constraints ...

You can take any particle in the Universe and isolate it from everything else, yet there are some properties that can never be taken away. These are intrinsic, physical properties of the particle ...

Discover how to derive the orbital angular velocity of a hydrogen atom step by step using classical and quantum physics principles. This video breaks down the math behind electron motion, angular ...

Introduction You might have seen figure skaters spinning around quickly and then tucking their arms to spin faster—or opening them to spin more slowly. This happens, thanks to a physics concept known ...

Speedy Spinning Spheres! Using spheres, cylinders, and straws, the Crew and Dr. Rob learn about inertia, velocity, and conservation of energy due to angular momentum. STEM Challenge: Angular Momentum ...

When a magnetic material like nickel is zapped with an incredibly short laser pulse, it loses its magnetism almost instantly within femtoseconds, or a millionth of a billionth of a second. But physics ...

Monopoles of orbital angular momentum (OAM) are a tantalizing prospect for orbitronics because OAM is uniform in all directions. This would mean that information flows could be generated in any ...

Quite a few Olympic events involve flipping and twisting, including gymnastics, diving, and trampoline. You might ask, "What is the difference between a flip and a twist?" I am going to give my ...

Optical holography is a powerful method for recording and reconstructing complete optical field information, including intensity and phase. It has found extensive applications in various fields, such ...
