Pluto's days, though they drag on a bit at around 153 hours, are nothing compared to its years. Pluto's orbit takes 248 Earth ...

Very low Earth orbit satellites are moving from engineering curiosity to strategic priority, promising sharper images, faster ...

Spin-orbit coupling – a ubiquitous interaction in condensed-matter physics – has been simulated in ultracold neutral atoms for the first time by physicists in the US. Their experiment involves firing ...

Spin–orbit entangled local moments in the iridate material Na 2 IrO 3 are subject to strong exchange frustration, driving the system towards a spin-liquid phase with emergent fractional excitations.

Space junk poses a growing threat to vital satellite services. Scientists at CU Boulder are developing an electrostatic ...
