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 ...

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”).

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

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Despite the absence of a global Earth-like magnetic dipole, the atmosphere of Mars is well protected from the effects of the solar wind on ion escape from the planet. New research shows this using ...

NASA Planetary Science Division Director, Jim Green, says launching a magnetic shield could help warm Mars and possibly allow it to become habitable. By Jay Bennett Published: Mar 01, 2017 3:39 PM EST ...
