A new experiment confirms that angular momentum conservation holds even when a single photon is split into two.

Orbital angular momentum monopoles have been the subject of great theoretical interest as they offer major practical advantages for the emerging field of orbitronics, a potential energy-efficient ...

The proposed diffractive deep neural network employs orbital angular momentum encoding and diffractive layers to process spatial information from handwritten digits, offering a robust and versatile ...

Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

Representation of the chiral, helical arrangement of atoms in a material (yellow spiral), combined with multiple monopoles in the form of a 'spiky hedgehog monopole,' showing the isotropic orbital ...

This video explains why planets in our solar system orbit in nearly the same plane, tracing their origins back to a rotating ...

A collaborative research team from Peking University and Hunan University has demonstrated a novel approach to generating powerful, structured ...

Back in 2019, researchers observed a collision between two black holes of wildly different masses. New analysis has revealed that the collision produced a massive recoil, sending the newly formed ...

For the first time, astrophysicists have measured the recoil resulting from the birth of a new black hole that formed from the merger of two others. The international team of researchers measured the ...

The long-standing idea of planets forming in perfectly flat, orderly discs has been challenged by new research. Instead of calm, pancake-shaped structures of dust and gas, astronomers have now ...
