DARPA launches a new initiative exploring altermagnetism, physics’ strangest frontier, to power next-gen defense technologies ...

Exotic spin-dependent interactions represent a promising avenue for probing physics beyond the Standard Model. These interactions, hypothesised to be mediated by new light bosons, couple to the ...

Quantum computers, which operate leveraging quantum mechanics phenomena, could eventually tackle some optimization and ...

The world is filled with rotating objects—gyroscopes, magnetic spins, and more recently, qubits in quantum computers. For ...

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) constitute a platform to explore various quantum effects. Their size-dependent colors are essentially a naked-eye, ambient-condition visualization of the quantum ...

From how space rocks wobble to where to hit them, scientists are learning the fine art of asteroid deflection — and it could ...

Students and faculty of UC Santa Barbara’s physics department gathered in Corwin Pavilion for the department’s annual Nobel Prize-focused colloquium on Oct. 14. This year’s event was particularly spec ...

Thanks to the lovable geeks on TV’s “The Big Bang Theory,” an Escondido inventor’s decades-old toy is now spinning with new life. On the popular show’s Feb. 16 episode, astrophysicist Raj tried to ...

Yes, I did, including the slow motion. Did you? The motion is imparting spin to the end by rolling it between your folded finger and thumb while dropping it. There is no “flick”. Your finger never ...
