Where does the angular momentum go? To find the lost angular momentum, Peter Baum and members of his team at Konstanz began by magnetizing nickel crystals in a specific direction, then demagnetizing ...

The pulse of an atom's magnetic heart as it ticks back and forth between quantum states has been timed in a laboratory.

Many people don't know too much about angular momentum—and that's fine. But what about figure skaters? Whether they understand the concept of angular momentum doesn't matter but they use it in ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, scientists have achieved the first experimental observation of phonon angular momentum in chiral crystals.

A research team succeeds in solving a decade-old physical puzzle: the question of the fate of angular momentum during the ultrafast demagnetization of nickel crystals by laser light.

The angular momentum can be in a different direction than the angular velocity - but in this case, I is not a scalar quantity. Here is the short scoop on the angular momentum principle.

This course introduces the quantum mechanical concept of angular momentum operator and its relationship with rotation operator. It then presents the angular momentum operators, their eigenvalues and ...

To compensate and keep angular momentum constant, the washer's angular velocity has to increase. The reverse happens when you loosen the string and allow the washer to move out farther.
