Memory of elastic collisions drives high minority spin and oscillatory entropy in underdamped chiral spinners

Abstract Inertial underdamped collisions preserve the memory of physical parameters that existed before the collision, leading to phenomena usually unseen in overdamped systems. Here we probe the less studied inertial chiral matter with spinners on an air table. We show here the emergence of high le...
