Description
Dmitry Budker and three co-authors reflect on a century of spin in physics in a 2026 paper. Spin, a built-in twist of particles, has probed nature's deepest rules for one hundred years. The authors trace its role from early quantum theory to today's sharpest tests of the standard model.
Magnetic and electric dipole moments get close attention for what they reveal about symmetry rules. Searches for exotic spin-based forces may expose the nature of dark matter. The review also links spin studies to the geometry of spacetime itself. Short episodes throughout show spin still opening fresh views on basic questions. The piece serves as both history and research guide.
