In this state the two molecules danced in parallel as their own electric dipole moments modified the applied potential. The resulting interaction was repulsive at short distances but attractive at ...

The result came from a search for the so-called electric dipole moment in the electron. A familiar example of a dipole is a bar magnet, which is shaped like a dumbbell with a north and a south pole.

Physicists in the US and Canada have put the smallest limit yet on the size of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. By making precise measurements on a slow-moving beam of thorium-oxide ...

An electric dipole moment is usually created when positive and negative charges are spatially separated. Similar to the north and south poles of a magnet, there are two electric poles.
