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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., the internal angular momentum of particles). These defects are central to ...

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

Spin waves are considered to be promising candidates for a new form of electronics. Instead of electrons, the focus here is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
