Although the neutron has no net electrical charge, it still could have an electric dipole moment (EDM)--a structural measure of the distance between its positive and negative electrical charges.

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 ...

Measuring zero: scientists have lowered the previous upper limit of the neutron’s electric dipole moment by 40%. (Courtesy: IOP Publishing) For more than 60 years, physicists have been searching for a ...

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 ...
