Researchers have demonstrated that electron orbitals, not just spin, can serve as a practical lever for controlling magnetism ...

Twisted light: self-torque could be used to manipulate molecules. (Courtesy: iStock/VikaSuh) Physicists in Spain and the US have shown that the orbital angular momentum, or twistedness, of light can ...

Researchers propose a universal asymmetric spin torque mechanism that deterministically switches the Neel vector in collinear antiferromagnets for ultrafast memory.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini sits down with us to discuss what torque is, how it works, why it works, and what it all has to do with this thing called "Moment of Inertia." Crash ...
