In a study that closes a long-standing knowledge gap in fundamental science, researchers Boerge Hemmerling and Stephen Kane at the University of California, Riverside, have successfully measured the ...

Sliding ferroelectrics are a type of two-dimensional (2D) material realized by stacking nonpolar monolayers (atom-thick layers that lack an electric dipole). When these individual layers are stacked, ...

Monitoring precession: The researchers measured the electron electric dipole moment in hafnium fluoride ions confined within an ion trap. (Courtesy: Casey Cass/University of Colorado) One way to look ...

The universe shouldn’t be here. Everything scientists know about particle physics, summed up in a theory called the Standard Model, suggests that the big bang should have created equal quantities of ...

Ultracold interaction: artistic impression of two diatomic molecules sit in an intermolecular potential, here represented by iron powder indicating the field lines through which two molecules are ...

A ferroelectric material is one whose equilbrium state has a bulk electric dipole moment. This occurs in solid ceramics when ground state crystal structure involves spatial separation of ionic charges ...

An international research team led by the University of Liverpool has made a discovery that will help with the search for electric dipole moments (EDM) in atoms, and could contribute to new theories ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Various components of the electromagnetic fields may be macroscopically discontinuous at an interface between a vacuum and a dielectric ...

The discovery itself is simple and fundamental, but the applications stretch far and wide into astrophysics and quantum technology, the researchers say. Reading time 2 minutes After relying on an ...
