Spintronics are devices that operate leveraging the spin, an intrinsic form of angular momentum, of electrons. The ability to ...

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, with collaborators from MIT, Harvard, and Stanford, have experimentally confirmed a 1970s prediction that 'dark points'—optical vortices in ...

(Aitor Diago/Moment/Getty Images) For the first time, physicists have observed that 'holes' in light can move faster than the light itself. They're known as phase singularities or optical vortices, ...

Have you ever wished to drive microscopic matter along an arbitrarily tailored trajectory instead of just a circle? That's ...

When an ordinary electrical conductor—such as a metal wire—is connected to a battery, the electrons in the conductor are accelerated by the electric field created by the battery. While moving, ...

A team of researchers from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology has achieved a major ...

Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases. A team has now demonstrated ...

This striking satellite photo shows multiple examples of a rare meteorological phenomenon, known as "von Kármán vortices," swirling off at least six different islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Very ...

TWO tropical cyclone-like vortices (TCLVs) are likely to emerge next week, with a “low chance” of developing into a tropical ...
