Introduction You might have seen figure skaters spinning around quickly and then tucking their arms to spin faster—or opening them to spin more slowly. This happens, thanks to a physics concept known ...

In this educational film, scientist pilot Owen Garot discusses the principles of conservation laws demonstrated during the Skylab missions in the 1970s. He explains conservation of angular momentum ...

When a magnetic material like nickel is zapped with an incredibly short laser pulse, it loses its magnetism almost instantly within femtoseconds, or a millionth of a billionth of a second. But physics ...

A new article describes the use of the Magnetorotational Instability Experiment to confirm an important mechanism involved in star formation. How have stars and planets developed from the clouds of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract ABSTRACT The response of atmospheric angular momentum to a gradual doubling of CO₂ is studied using 16 model experiments participating in the ...

The uncertainty principle states that we cannot know the state of a system with arbitrary precision. Now the uncertainty relation between angular momentum and position has been measured in an ...

On Feb. 19 and 22, the team fired Focus-Fusion-1 at 24 kV with a pressure of 8 torr of deuterium in the vacuum chamber. In some shots, they connected the angular momentum coil (AMC) to the power ...

New theory work at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has shown that more than half of the spin of the proton is the result of the movement of its building ...
