One of the most enduring mysteries of particle physics may be finally resolved, two new studies suggest. The oddities of muons, subatomic particles that are relatives of electrons, are starting to ...

University of Toronto-led physicists have shown that hidden octupolar magnetic order leaves a detectable handedness signature ...

Electricity, Magnetism, and Light Become OneIn the 19th century, while thermodynamics was chasing the steam engine, another ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) pioneers studies to build and co-design the next generation of programmable quantum devices. An interdisciplinary team of scientists from QSA institutions, ...

Physicists have published an array of experimental evidence showing that the ordered magnetic arrangement of electrons in crystals of iron-germanium plays an integral role in bringing about an ordered ...

While the surprising results challenge the long-held understanding of magnetism and topology, they are the result, Li says, of careful experimentation and the team's willingness to explore areas which ...

Magnetorotational instability—a process that might explain the dynamics of astrophysical accretion disks—has finally been observed in the laboratory. Figure 1: The glowing accretion disk around a ...

The final results from the Muon g − 2 experiment agree with the latest predictions of the muon’s magnetic properties—letting down hopes that the particle would upset the standard model’s applecart.

APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE VELOCITY OF THE EARTH'S ROTATION.—Prof. A. Foppl, of the Munich Technical High School, has devised a new gyroscopic apparatus for measuring the angular velocity of the ...
