Watch demonstrations to learn about basic physics principles, such as momentum, rotational motion and angular momentum. Assistant Professor Dr. Jason Howard also will provide information about what ...

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 ...

How many times have you said, “I wish the days were longer”? Well, NASA scientists say the construction of China’s Three ...

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 ...

Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the electron's charge, but researchers are now exploring the possibility of ...

When an object spins, its center of mass and angular momentum enter a tug-of-war that can lead to impossible motion. From ...

Pseudospin, an additional degree of freedom inherent in graphene, plays a key role in understanding many fundamental phenomena such as the anomalous quantum Hall effect, electron chirality and Klein ...

Ultrashort measurement-time resolution is traditionally obtained in pump–probe experiments, for which two ultrashort light pulses are required; the time resolution is then determined by the pulse ...
