To better understand Jupiter’s primordial stages, researchers turned to the tiniest of the planet’s 92 known moons. Almathea ...

Traditionally, scientists believed that once a disk forms, it simply loses too ... can provide not only the mass but also the angular momentum needed to explain the observed sizes of ...

The orbital angular momentum of electrons has long been considered a minor physical phenomenon, suppressed in most crystals and largely overlooked. Scientists have now discovered that in certain ...

Supermassive black holes are born from successive mergers of smaller black holes, each contributing its angular momentum ... the rest forms an accretion disk around the black hole.

This course introduces the quantum mechanical concept of angular momentum operator and its relationship with rotation operator. It then presents the angular momentum operators, their eigenvalues and ...
