Protons Spin Around the World

One of the most intriguing physical puzzles related to quantum physics and particle physics is a property of the protons, which all elementary particles share, called spin. The spin number, or quantum momentum, represents the particle's rotation around its own axis, but unlike the gyrosc... [ read more >> ]
