The study of electric dipole moments (EDMs) offers a unique window into the violation of time-reversal symmetry, an effect that, when coupled with charge-parity (CP) violation, presents fundamental ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Most of the coverage of this adopts the framing of talking about this ...

Long thought to be a simple speck of negative charge, the humble electron may be hiding one more surprise in its depths. The electron was the first fundamental particle discovered. It was the first to ...

The most precise measurement yet of the electron’s shape casts doubt on ideas such as supersymmetry that predict a zoo of undetected particles in the universe Scientists are unanimous that their ...
