A New Spin On Physical Phenomena

f00Dave writes "Researchers have discovered "a new physical phenomenon, electrostatic rotation, that, in the absence of friction, leads to spin". I'm a bit skeptical about the implied relationship between physical "spin" (as in rotation) and quantum "spin", however. Still, this is the sort of scientific advance that renews my faith in the system. Go nerds! =]"

Nothing new

Those of us who have lived through other wars realize that "spin" is very strong in times like these.

Mod me up. Make my day!
