Study opens new possibilities for progress in astrophysics and quantum technology. In a study that closes a long-standing gap ...

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

Physicists in the US and Canada have put the smallest limit yet on the size of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. By making precise measurements on a slow-moving beam of thorium-oxide ...

An electric dipole moment is usually created when positive and negative charges are spatially separated. Similar to the north and south poles of a magnet, there are two electric poles.

The result came from a search for the so-called electric dipole moment in the electron. A familiar example of a dipole is a bar magnet, which is shaped like a dumbbell with a north and a south pole.

The Standard Model – the current best framework for the forces and particles that make up the universe – only allows for a very small amount of time-symmetry violation, so it predicts that the ...
