Recently, researchers from the University of Vienna have discovered the memory-induced Magnus effect, an unexpected curveball in the physics of sports. The Magnus effect is a phenomenon where a spinning ball curves away from its expected path due to the interaction between the air and the spin of the ball. Until now, this effect was known to only occur when the ball was moving. But the Vienna team has discovered that this effect can also occur when the ball is stationary, and the memory of its previous spin affects the air around it.
