In Book 1, Millie is intrigued by the electrons’ pointy "hats" and curiously asks about them. She soon discovers that these aren’t hats at all, but a built-in feature of electrons known as spin. Spin is an intrinsic property of electrons and all quantum particles. An intrinsic property is a ch...…

Angular momentum

Angular momentum is about how things spin. It's a sort of “spinning power” of something that’s turning or rotating. Big heavy things that spin quickly have a lot of spin power. Imagine you’re on a playground merry-go-round. If you’re sitting near the edge, and the merry-go-round is spinning, you...…
