Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential of ...

Spintronics is an emerging field that leverages the spin, or the intrinsic angular momentum, of electrons. By harnessing this quantum-relativistic property, researchers aim to develop devices that ...

Although elusive, the quantum spin has led to some of the deepest insights we now know. Quantum mechanics has a lot of weird stuff - but there are things that everyone agrees that no one understands.

Earth is steadily spinning like a top, even if we can't see, touch, hear or feel it. So, what would happen if Earth were to abruptly stop rotating? If the spinning were to stop, the angular momentum ...

They are seen as a beacon of hope for energy-saving electronics and the high-tech of the future: topological quantum materials. One of their properties is the conduction of spin-polarized electrons on ...

Quantum mechanics introduces a bunch of new phenomena that seem strange-- wave nature for material particles, particle nature for light waves, entanglement correlations connecting particles over ...

An international team led by the University of Oxford has identified one of the largest rotating structures ever reported: a ...

The most common way to form a black hole in the Universe is to have a massive star reach the end of its life and explode in a catastrophic supernova. However, while the outside portions of the star ...
