Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

Deep in Chile’s Atacama Desert, scientists studied a green crystal called atacamite—and discovered it can cool itself ...

Natural crystals fascinate with their vibrant colors, their nearly flawless appearance and their manifold symmetrical forms.

The research team has identified atacamite as a material with magnetocaloric properties. Natural crystals have long ...

A magnetic mystery. Of all of the effects that the strong interaction has on the muon's magnetic moment, the largest and also hardest to calculate with the necessary precision is called the Leading ...

All quarks and leptons – such as electrons and muons – have a magnetic moment due to their intrinsic angular momentum or “spin”. Quantum theory dictates that the magnetic moment is related to the spin ...

If the predicted magnetic moment doesn’t match up with what’s seen in experiments, the discrepancy could be a clue that there are undiscovered virtual particles at play.

The magnetic moment of Fe increased by 1.44-fold and Ir by 1.54-fold at 11 at% Ir concentration compared to that at 1 at% Ir concentration.

The team determined the electron magnetic moment to 0.13 parts per trillion, or 0.000000000013 percent. A measurement that exacting is a complicated task.

The muon's magnetic moment fits just fine A new estimate of the strength of the sub-atomic particle's magnetic field aligns with the standard model of particle physics Date: April 7, 2021 ...

Nuclear magnetic moment is one of the most important physical observables. The precise measurement of nuclear magnetic moment and its understanding in microscopic way are quite a challenge in ...
