In a closed physical system, the sum of all angular momentum remains constant – says an important physical law of conservation. Angular momentum does not necessarily need to involve "real" bodily ...

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 ...

Schematic of a single photon with zero angular momentum (green) splitting into two photons (red) with either zero or opposite angular momenta (sketched through the spatially varying color), which adds ...

When a magnetic material like nickel is zapped with an incredibly short laser pulse, it loses its magnetism almost instantly within femtoseconds, or a millionth of a billionth of a second. But physics ...
