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

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

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

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 ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have achieved exciting progress in quantum metrology, a field ...

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 ...

If he had discussed the spin idea with others, probably few in the physics community (except, potentially, for Werner Heisenberg, who was also thinking about half-integer quantum numbers) wou ld ...

The fine-structure constant is 10 times its normal value in the material, giving a peek into what physics in an alternate universe could look like.
