Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? Did you know that, at a certain point on a moving wheel... there's no motion? I mean, kinda... it's all relative, right?

If the atmosphere were not dragged with our planet, you could utilize the insane relative wind speeds to decrease flight time ...

Magnetic rotation and antimagnetic rotation represent distinct mechanisms by which atomic nuclei generate angular momentum in systems that exhibit little or no permanent quadrupole deformation. In ...

Math and physics explain the anguish of a golf ball that zings around the rim of the hole instead of falling in.

The study of chiral nuclear physics explores the phenomenon of handedness that arises from the interplay between triaxial deformation and the angular momentum of valence nucleons. In such systems, the ...

Find out just how fast this revolutionary design can spin! I measure the maximum rotational speed and explain the physics ...

The polarization of light can be rotated by almost 6° as it passes through a single sheet of graphene in a magnetic field, according to an international team of physicists. This latest property of ...

Every dazzling jump on the ice—like Yuzuru Hanyu's quadruple Lutz at the 2017 Grand Prix of Figure Skating in Moscow, Russia—requires a mastery of balance, rotational speed and angular momentum. Aflo ...
