Although elusive, the quantum spin has led to some of the deepest insights we now know. Quantum mechanics has a lot of weird stuff - but there are things that everyone agrees that no one understands.

In a world-first, researchers from the Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST ...

When you shine a flashlight into a glass of water, the beam bends. That simple observation, familiar since ancient times, hides one of the oldest puzzles in physics: what really happens to the ...
