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 ...

In 2006 a magnetic shield at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, France, reduced external magnetic fields by a factor of about 10,000, allowing for an extraordinary experimental precision that ...

The anomalous magnetic dipole moment is an amazing testbed for the standard model. And it is interesting for all the charged leptons: electrons, muons, and tau particles.

Every breath we take in contains 21% oxygen, the gas that makes life on Earth possible. Oxygen, in its combined oxide state, ...

Recently, an international collaboration powered by the U.S.-based Fermilab has released its most accurate data on this anomalous magnetic dipole moment, known as g-2 (“gee minus two”).

Electric dipole moment would explain creation of universe Date: July 20, 2010 ... magnetic disorder at temperatures below four degrees Kelvin and a reversible electric polarization.

By repeatedly moving a metal tool through this stray field, each time further and further away from the magnet, the magnetic moment reduces until any magnetization has effectively vanished.
