For decades, the spin Hall effect has been the dominant paradigm for converting charge currents into angular momentum flows and vice versa. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that we have been looking at only half the picture. Orbital angular momentum is not merely a correction to spin transport; in many technologically relevant materials, it is the dominant player. In this seminar, I will present a unified experimental framework for disentangling spin-to-charge from orbital-to-charge conversion across a surprisingly diverse materials palette. Specifically, I will discuss: (i) the observation of anomalous inverse spin and orbital Hall effects that challenge conventional symmetrybased selection rules. (ii) direct evidence that in transition-metal heterostructures, the orbital Hall effect routinely overwhelms its spin counterpart, thereby forcing a reinterpretation of decades of spin Hall measurements. (iii) the discovery that surface chemistry (oxidation) and interfacial Rashba states can be used as tunable parameters to amplify spin-orbital conversion efficiencies beyond traditional spin-orbit coupling limits. Rather than treating orbitronics as an exotic subfield, I will argue that it is a universal platform for quantum transport. These results not only resolve long-standing puzzles in the spintronics literature but also provide clear design principles for a new generation of low-power, highefficiency spin-orbitronic devices.
