When a magnetic material is bombarded with short pulses of laser light, it loses its magnetism within femtoseconds (10 -15 seconds). The spin, or angular momentum, of the electrons in the material thus disappears almost instantly. Yet all that angular momentum cannot simply be lost. It must be conserved – somewhere. Thanks to new ultrafast electron diffraction experiments, researchers at the University of Konstanz in Germany have now found that this “lost” angular momentum is in fact transferred
