The implications of this discovery stretch further. A pear-shaped nucleus might create something called an electric dipole moment in the atom. If both the nucleus and electron cloud are symmetric ...

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 ...

(Courtesy: Christoph Hohmann/MCQST) Weakly bound tetratomic molecules that are more than 3000 times colder than any previous four-atom molecules have been ... on particles with magnetic dipole moments ...

So far theoretical descriptions of this binding mechanism did not predict a dipole moment. However, the scattering of the Rydberg electron of the bound atom changes the probability distribution of ...

It is the electrons surrounding the nucleus of every atom that determine how chemical ... property of an electron is called the magnetic dipole moment. It tells us how an electron would react ...

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.

Incompatible moments A spinning charge (left) acts like a loop of current to produce a magnetic dipole moment (blue arrow). Distorting the electron's charge distribution (middle) produces an electric ...

Jiang Bin's research team at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have developed a universal field-induced recursively embedded atom neural ... the magnetic moment of an ...
