Watching, modeling and even playing winter sports help students internalize physics concepts, including acceleration, ...

The Einstein–de Haas effect, which links the spin of electrons to macroscopic rotation, has now been demonstrated in a ...

This Chapter 10 summary covers the key concepts of rotational motion and angular momentum in physics. The video explains torque, rotational kinematics, moment of inertia, and conservation of angular ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
