Magnetic materials have become indispensable to various technologies that support our modern society, such as data storage ...

known as its magnetic moment. In theory, if scientists could account for all the types of virtual particles that exist, they could run the math and figure out exactly how skewed the electron’s ...

Hematite's antiferromagnetic properties and abundance position it as a leading candidate for next-generation spintronic ...

Known as the electron magnetic moment, it’s a measure of the strength of the magnetic field carried by the particle. That property is predicted by the standard model of particle physics ...

Scientists have measured the magnetic moment of the muon to unprecedented precision, more than doubling the previous record. Physicists from the Muon g-2 Collaboration cycled muons, known as ...

Through their rotation of the magnetic moments, the so-called magnetic precession, single electrons can mutually influence each other's rotation (spin) through a non-magnetic intermediate layer.

Twenty years ago, in an experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory, physicists detected what seemed to be a discrepancy between measurements of the muon's "magnetic moment" -- the strength of ...

Well, David Yager wants to talk about it, and asks: [There's a notable] difference between theory and experiment [for the muon's magnetic moment]. Is the fact that the [uncertainties are large ...

We’ve taken a stab at the basics of magnetism before, but to summarize, any charged particle, like an electron, has what’s known as an intrinsic magnetic moment, meaning they act like little ...

But few likely appreciate what is behind those ones and zeros: microscopic arrays of “magnetic moments” (imagine tiny bar magnets with positive and negative poles). When aligned in parallel in ...
