JILA team finds first direct evidence of 'spin symmetry' in atoms
Boulder CO (SPX) Aug 29, 2014 - Just as diamonds with perfect symmetry may be unusually brilliant jewels, the quantum world has a symmetrical splendor of high scientific value. Confirming this exotic quantum physics theory, JILA physicists led by theorist Ana Maria Rey and experimentalist Jun Ye have observed the first direct evidence of symmetry in the magnetic properties-or nuclear "spins"-of atoms. The advance could s ... more
