Speedy Spinning Spheres! Using spheres, cylinders, and straws, the Crew and Dr. Rob learn about inertia, velocity, and conservation of energy due to angular momentum. STEM Challenge: Angular Momentum ...

In an introductory physics course, there are three big ideas. There is the work-energy principle, the momentum principle and then the angular momentum principle. I'll skip the work-energy principle ...

Using observations of molecules in the protostar L1527 taken by the ALMA observatory in northern Chile, a group of researchers has uncovered new clues to understanding how dust in a collapsing ...

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 ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it encompasses both the intrinsic spin of particles and their orbital motion ...

Observations undertaken by Ralf Launhardt, a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, and colleagues have clinched an important part of the standard scenario for the formation of new ...

One of the big puzzles in astrophysics is how stars like the sun manage to form from collapsing molecular clouds in star-forming regions of the universe. The puzzle is known technically as the angular ...
