The Solar System's giant planets are in pretty odd orbits: they all have large obliquities — that is they have a large inclination of the spin axis with respect to the orbital plane. These ...

The planets of the Solar System are roughly on the same plane, but the fact that they are not exactly aligned means that ...

A twist for control of orbital angular momentum of neutron waves Date: September 24, 2015 Source: University of Waterloo Summary: An experiment shows, for the first time, that a wave property of ...

If the angular momentum of the star and a planet's orbit are nearly the same, the stellar obliquity is small. The eight planets in the Solar System all have small stellar obliquities, but many hot ...

Often, when planets form in a protoplanetary disk, they shed orbital angular momentum, exchanging this angular momentum with the disk that they are accreting material from in order to grow.

Revealing the subfemtosecond dynamics of orbital angular momentum in nanoplasmonic vortices. Science , 2017; 355 (6330): 1187 DOI: 10.1126/science.aaj1699 Cite This Page : ...

Orbital angular momentum monopoles have been the subject of great theoretical interest as they offer major practical ...

According to the Caltech researchers, the angular momentum of Planet Nine is exerting an influence on the Solar System because of its position at about a 30-degree angle to the orbital plane ...

Monopoles of orbital angular momentum (OAM) are a tantalizing prospect for orbitronics because OAM is uniform in all directions. This would mean that information flows could be generated in any ...

Orbital angular momentum is a completely different animal. To understand OAM, I'm going to change topics entirely and talk about waves at the beach (a much more relaxing topic). Think of yourself ...

Recently, National Science Review published online the research results on three-dimensionally oriented orbital angular momentum of light from Professor Qiwen Zhan's team at the University of ...

Meanwhile, the star is also gaining angular momentum from magnetic and tidal interactions with its planet. As the star's spin speeds up, however, the planet loses orbital angular energy and slows ...
