There is an alternative, and ingenious, way to explore the same problem – measure the shape of an electron. The new forces needed to explain the matter/antimatter ... beam of YbF molecules cooled to ...

As physicists constantly have to emphasize when talking about electron spin, the electron is not literally ... which is what allows us to measure their properties. Because the universe is quantum ...

Abstract: This article presents an optical measurement method for real-time measurement of longitudinal electron spin polarization (LESP) in spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) comagnetometers and ...

Specifically, they show how to measure electron spin superpositions, a quantum mechanical property that determines the direction of a magnetic field produced by an electron. "This technique could ...

By measuring the way in which neutrons interact magnetically with the electron spin in pyrochlore, the researchers observed the collective excitations of spins interacting strongly with light-like ...
