Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and Forschungszentrum Jülich have demonstrated for the first time that particle spin polarization can survive the extreme conditions of ...

Scientists on the ATLAS experiment explored the polarization of W bosons to test the Higgs mechanism and gain a deeper understanding of the first moments after the Big Bang. After the Big Bang, the ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties and—perhaps oddest of all—particles that spontaneously spring into being from the ...

A single quantum particle is a wave that spreads out over arbitrarily — or unspecifiably — large distances. Yet it can never be detected in more than one place at a time. This is because under any ...

Spintronics are promising devices that work utilizing not only the charge of electrons, like conventional electronics, but also their spin (i.e., their intrinsic angular momentum). The development of ...

Ultrafine magnetic films, with thicknesses approaching the atomic scale, support a rich spectrum of spin excitations that underpin both fundamental understanding and technological innovation. Spin ...
