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 ...

Physicists at NASA and Princeton generate electricity from the Earth's rotation: could wind energy be our energy source of the future?

Understand rotational motion in a clear, intuitive way with a lesson designed to stick with you forever. This video breaks ...

New research offers insight into the role of rotation in the self-assembly of living cells. The work is described in Soft Matter and was done by Linda Ravazzano at the University of Milan under the ...

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 ...

Although we’re living in the twenty-first century, there are still many dangers in our workplaces. For certain industries, such as the construction, manufacturing and industrial industries, the risks ...

While oohing and ahhing at the powerful leaps and nimble spins on the ice at the Olympics, you may not realize you’re watching physics in action. Each jump requires a careful balance of matching the ...

No matter how high an Olympian jumps, how fast they run, how hard they kick a ball, their amazing feats are always governed by the laws of physics. Pushing the physical limitations of a sport, as the ...
