Researchers from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw and the University of British Columbia have described how ...

The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible,” Albert Einstein once pondered. But even as ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

Each quark has a spin of 1/2, so you might simply think that so long as one spins in the opposite direction of the other two, you'd get the proton's spin. Up until the 1980s, that's exactly how ...

Scientists at TU Delft have unlocked a key quantum effect in graphene without using any magnetic fields, paving the way for ...

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have developed a tunable system that paves the way for ...

"Remarkable" new model of quantum double-exchange ferromagnets could produce fresh insights into these ...

An elusive form of matter called a quantum spin liquid isn’t a liquid, and it doesn’t spin — but it sure is quantum. Predicted nearly 50 years ago, quantum spin liquids have long evaded ...

And like so many fundamental facts in physics, spin was found to be technologically useful as well. In the second half of the 20th century, spin was harnessed to develop lasers, ...

New face of quantum Having recently established her own research group, physicist Hannah Stern is ready to get to work developing new materials for quantum technologies. (Courtesy: Andy ...

By borrowing from the physics of spin glasses, later researchers working on AI could “use all these tools that have been developed for the physics of these old systems.” In 2024, Hopfield and his ...
