No new particles: artist’s impression of how virtual particles could give the electron an electric dipole moment. (Courtesy: Nicolle Fuller/NSF) It is well known that the electron has a magnetic ...

Incompatible moments A spinning charge (left) acts like a loop of current to produce a magnetic dipole moment (blue arrow). Distorting the electron's charge distribution (middle) produces an electric ...

Sliding ferroelectrics are a type of two-dimensional (2D) material realized by stacking nonpolar monolayers (atom-thick layers that lack an electric dipole). When these individual layers are stacked, ...

The most precise measurement yet of the electron’s shape casts doubt on ideas such as supersymmetry that predict a zoo of undetected particles in the universe Scientists are unanimous that their ...

Learn how to explain the change in electric potential along a dipole axis in this step-by-step physics tutorial! In this video, we break down the concept of electric dipoles, the variation of ...

The ultrafast placement of an electron in a polar liquid generates collective molecular vibrations in a spherical nano-volume. The vibrations change the diameter of this sphere periodically for more ...
