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 ...

Orbital angular momentum has the potential to transfer, manipulate and store information. They are made from the orbital angular momentum of electrons orbiting their atomic nucleus – and the study of ...

Pseudospin, an additional degree of freedom inherent in graphene, plays a key role in understanding many fundamental phenomena such as the anomalous quantum Hall effect, electron chirality and Klein ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, scientists have achieved the first experimental observation of phonon angular momentum in chiral crystals. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

Six photons: physicists in China have entangled photons in terms of polarization, position and orbital angular momentum. (Courtesy: iStock/CopterAnansak) Physicists in China have fully entangled 18 ...
