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 ...

A newly designed optical centrifuge allows scientists to control molecular rotation inside superfluid helium nano-droplets.

We know Earth’s rotation on a cosmic scale, but seeing it close up requires quantum mechanics. Interferometry is the use of light waves, sound, etc., to identify changes in matter or motion. New ...

Learn the fundamentals of physics with this Understanding Rotational Motion and Kinematics Beginner Physics Guide—a clear and easy introduction to how objects rotate and move in circular paths. This ...
