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 ...

The study of electric dipole moments (EDMs) offers a unique window into the violation of time-reversal symmetry, an effect that, when coupled with charge-parity (CP) violation, presents fundamental ...

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 ...

Researchers have made a discovery that will help with the search for electric dipole moments in atoms, and could contribute to new theories of particle physics such as supersymmetry. An international ...

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, ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- In a study that closes a long-standing knowledge gap in fundamental science, researchers Boerge Hemmerling and Stephen Kane at the University of California, Riverside, have ...

Although the neutron has no net electrical charge, it still could have an electric dipole moment (EDM)--a structural measure of the distance between its positive and negative electrical charges.

Electrons are still almost perfectly round, a new measurement shows. A more squished shape could hint at the presence of never-before-seen subatomic particles, so the result stymies the search for new ...

Electrons are interesting things. They help form the structure of atoms and molecules, they can flow through conductive materials to create electric currents, and they have a strange quantum behavior ...

Dive into Python Physics Lesson 23 and discover what happens when approximations fail in dipole electric fields. In this lesson, we explore the limitations of common approximation methods in physics ...
