Many NHL players like Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon skate faster than 20 miles per hour every game. Hall of Famer Bobby ...

In condensed matter, angular momentum is intimately related to the emergence of topological quantum states, including chiral superconductivity, quantum spin liquids and various chiral quasiparticles.

Symmetry plays a central role in quantum mechanics, serving as a foundational concept for understanding and predicting the behavior of quantum systems. Its deep connection to conservation laws, ...

Introduction: Athletic performance in competitive ski jumping is evaluated based on the aggregate scores of the jump distance and flying style. However, an understanding of how angular momentum ...

As it gets later in the summer, the questions about hurricanes increase. Rightfully so, because that means it is getting closer to peak hurricane season. This time, we have a great hurricane question ...

Physicists have, for the first time, shown that even a single photon obeys one of nature’s strictest rules: conservation of angular momentum. Achieved only once in a billion attempts, this needle-in-a ...

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

In the quiet town of Rocky Hill, Connecticut, the tension between land preservation and housing development has reached a familiar and pressing crossroads. As towns across the state grapple with ...

Conservation laws govern the behavior of physical systems across both classical and quantum scales. However, experimental verification of these conservation laws at the quantum level, particularly for ...

Farmer Barry Evans drops dusty soil from a cotton crop he shredded and planted over with wheat in Kress, Texas. Funding freezes threaten to halt the $11 billion dedicated to two land conservation ...

Schematic of a single photon with zero angular momentum (green) splitting into two photons (red) with either zero or opposite angular momenta (sketched through the spatially varying color), which adds ...
