The interplay between angular momentum, electron spin and magnetism at the nanoscale could have applications in spintronics, transducers and actuators, as well as fundamental research. In 1915, Albert ...

A central focus of our research program are several precision experiments that use parity-violating electron scattering to probe the structure of nucleons (the proton and the neutron).

Since the early 20th century physicists have known that light carries momentum, but the way that this momentum changes as light passes through different media is much less clear. Two rival theories of ...

A near-100-year-old debate between the theoretical physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr has finally been settled—and not in the former’s favor. A team of physicists in China have realized a ...
