What about the angular momentum principle? It essentially says that there is a property of objects called the angular momentum. You can change this angular momentum by applying a torque.

You can use angular momentum to describe everything from fidget spinners to back flips to interstellar asteroids. Let's see how it works.

A research team succeeds in solving a decade-old physical puzzle: the question of the fate of angular momentum during the ultrafast demagnetization of nickel crystals by laser light.

To compensate and keep angular momentum constant, the washer's angular velocity has to increase. The reverse happens when you loosen the string and allow the washer to move out farther.

Diffraction from the absorber changes the angular-momentum distribution. The angular momentum can then be measured using an appropriate holographic grating followed by a lens and a pinhole (the light ...
