After six years of collecting data, the muon g-2 experiment released its results and could chart a new path for particle physics.

Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...

A rare geological event occurs every 300,000 years or so: the Earth’s magnetic poles flip. The magnetic poles are the two ...

The electric dipole moment of an electron (eEDM), the electric counterpart of the magnetic moment, can essentially be caused only by interactions that violate CP symmetry.

Every breath we take in contains 21% oxygen, the gas that makes life on Earth possible. Oxygen, in its combined oxide state, has always been abundant in Earth's crust, but elemental diatomic oxygen ...

All the latest science news on magnetic dipoles from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Is Earth’s magnetic field crucial to the planet’s habitability? Did it enable the evolution of life? Scientists have pondered those questions for at least 60 years. 1 The geomagnetic field shields our ...

In hard-drive technology, memory bits are stored as magnetized areas in a thin magnetic film. A magnetic dipole with the north pole up is 1, for example, while one with the north pole down is 0. IBM ...

But unlike Earth’s magnetic field or that of a bar magnet, the sun’s magnetism is patchy and highly fluid, even during its dipole stage. “It’s not uniformly positive,” says Todd Hoeksema ...

Instead, it consists of a gradual transition from a dipole to a complex magnetic field, then to a reversed dipole over the entire 11-year solar cycle. "In short, there is no specific 'moment' in ...
