Earth is spinning faster, making July 9, 2025, one of the shortest day since 1960 by 1.3 to 1.6 milliseconds, primarily due to the Moon's alignment. While imperceptible in daily life, this speedup may ...

Researchers at Tampere University and their collaborators from Germany and India have experimentally confirmed that angular momentum is conserved when ...

Learn how a new discovery of a giant planet can help scientists refine their theories of how planets form.

A team from the Universities of Münster and Heidelberg has developed a new method of producing waveguides in which spin waves can propagate particularly far. They have thus created the largest spin ...

Non-Hermitian topological systems exhibit a range of unique phenomena that are absent in their Hermitian counterparts.
