The Kuiper Belt is a band on the outer edge of the Solar System made up of space’s odds and ends: comets, dwarf planets, and ...

A team of researchers led by Colorado State University graduate student Luke Wernert and Associate Professor Hua Chen has ...

Researchers from Würzburg have experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado for the first time by refining an established ...

For the first time, scientists have experimentally confirmed that electrons can form tornado-like structures in momentum ...

Researchers have experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado. Electrons form vortices in the momentum space of the quantum semi-metal tantalum arsenide.

A similar interference effect also appears in a closely related property of light known as orbital angular momentum, which allows light to rotate particles around the optical axis, i.e., make them ...
