Recent work on the estimation of dipole moments in solution, particularly by Müller 1 and Jenkins 2, has shown that, contrary to that which was formerly believed, the apparent dipole moment of a ...

The reason is that many physicists believe that electrons have a permanent electric dipole moment. An electric dipole moment is usually created when positive and negative charges are spatially ...

No new particles: artist’s impression of how virtual particles could give the electron an electric dipole moment. (Courtesy: Nicolle Fuller/NSF) It is well known that the electron has a magnetic ...

Measuring zero: scientists have lowered the previous upper limit of the neutron’s electric dipole moment by 40%. (Courtesy: IOP Publishing) For more than 60 years, physicists have been searching for a ...
