Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in ...

Today's computers store information in magnetic hard drives, keeping files safe even when the device is powered off. But to ...

LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detects two black hole mergers with rare spin patterns, offering evidence for hierarchical formation and ...

Physicists have uncovered the fascinating world of “rotating crystals” — solids made of spinning particles that behave in ...

Modeling the effects of molecular handedness on electron spin challenges fundamental assumptions in physics, including Onsager reciprocity and time reversal symmetry.

Higher Spin Field Theory is a burgeoning area of research that extends the conventional framework of gauge theories and gravity by incorporating fields with spin higher than two. Central to this field ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world’s population – most of them quantum physicists – up at night for decades. At very small scales, we know ...

As far as particles of light are concerned, the collective is more important than the individual. When they get to decide ...

Scientists have discovered rotating crystals with odd elasticity that twist, fragment, and self-reassemble, revealing new ...
