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 ...

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 motion ...

Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the electron's charge, but researchers are now exploring the possibility of harnessing its other intrinsic properties. In a Nature Communications study, ...

image: An experiment by a team of researchers led from the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing shows, for the first time, that a wave property of neutrons, Orbital Angular ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.220012 considers High frame-rate orbital-angular-momentum multiplexing holography. In the information era, photons and electrons ...

Rayleigh–Bénard convection and Taylor–Couette flow are two canonical flows that have many properties in common. We here compare the two flows in detail for parameter values where the Nusselt numbers, ...
