Quantum technologies, devices that work by leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical technologies in ...

A new experiment pulled off the most precise measurement of an electron’s self-generated magnetic field—and the universe’s subatomic model is at stake.

Scientists call this "electron spin" -- the magnetic moment associated with each electron -- because each electron is a negatively charged particle that behaves as though it were rapidly spinning ...

A newly measured value of an electron’s magnetic moment 1 — a property of its spin and charge — is twice as precise as the one physicists have used for the past 14 years. The electron ...

The standard way of calculating the electron's magnetic moment using the Dirac equation leads to a value known as the Bohr magneton, named after the Danish physicist Niels Bohr.

By using photons and electron spin qubits to control nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material, researchers at Purdue University have opened a new frontier in quantum science and technology ...

When these spin currents interact with a thin magnetic layer, they transfer their angular momentum and generate enough torque to switch the magnetization 180 degrees.

A research team led by Prof. SHAO Dingfu at the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of ...

Ignoring for a moment the weirdness of the quantum world, the electron can be thought of as a tiny rotating bar magnet with two possible orientations: spin-up or spin-down. Engineers can distinguish ...

So, when an electron moves in the electric field of another electron, this special relativistic effect results in the moving electron interacting with a magnetic field, and hence with the electron ...
