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 ...

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 ...

An Aston University researcher has developed a new technique using light that could revolutionize non-invasive medical diagnostics and optical communication. The research showcases how a type of light ...

Recently, National Science Review published online the research results on three-dimensionally oriented orbital angular momentum of light from Professor Qiwen Zhan's team at the University of Shanghai ...

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, Vol. 131, No. 995 (2019 January), pp. 1-8 (8 pages) To understand the distribution of angular momenta between host stars and their planets, we ...

Interestingly, a "reshuffling" of angular momentum between the spin and orbital motion of the electrons could also not been detected when following the laser-induced demagnetization with a temporal ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for ...

Do the twist: schematic of multiplexed antennas emitting coherent light with orbital angular momenta. (Courtesy: Kanté Group, UC Berkeley) A compact, integrated light source that simultaneously ...

Rotating objects carry angular momentum; this fact extends even to the tiniest of particles, such as photons. Photons possess not one but two distinct forms of angular momentum: spin angular momentum ...
