We designed and created nanofabricated quartz cylinders well suited for torque application and detection in an angular optical trap. We made the cylinder axis perpendicular to the extraordinary axis ...

Unlock the mysteries of rolling motion, torque, and angular momentum in Chapter 11! Learn how rotational motion works and how it differs from linear motion. #RollingMotion #Torque #AngularMomentum #Ph ...

Twisted light: self-torque could be used to manipulate molecules. (Courtesy: iStock/VikaSuh) Physicists in Spain and the US have shown that the orbital angular momentum, or twistedness, of light can ...

Suppose you have a cylinder on an ramp and you let it start rolling down. What will be its acceleration? Great question, right? I like this because it brings in many different concepts in introductory ...

Many people don't know too much about angular momentum—and that's fine. But what about figure skaters? Whether they understand the concept of angular momentum doesn't matter but they use it in one of ...
