Speedy spinning spheres and the science behind angular momentum!

Ever swung on a playground swing? That's a pendulum in motion! On today's MOSI Monday, we're looking at pendulum and angular momentum!

A research team succeeds in solving a decade-old physical puzzle: the question of the fate of angular momentum during the ultrafast demagnetization of nickel crystals by laser light.

Angular momentum is basically momentum with a rotational motion — an object’s angular velocity (how fast it’s spinning) multiplied by its moment of inertia.

Mass and Angular Momentum, Left Ambiguous by Einstein, Get Defined Surprising as it may sound, 107 years after the introduction of general relativity, the meanings of basic concepts are still being ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it encompasses both the intrinsic spin of particles and their orbital ...

Dark matter also experiences angular momentum. It's another reason everything in space is moving. In the end, motion is a fundamental ingredient in the universe.

The article explores how the Big Bang initiated the universe's continuous motion, affecting vast cosmic distances through expansion. Angular momentum drives local rotations, while dark matter ...

Orbital angular momentum states may vastly increase fiber’s bandwidth Corkscrew light may increase bandwidth, but it needs special fibers.

In a new study published in Nature Physics, scientists have achieved the first experimental observation of phonon angular momentum in chiral crystals.
