Electromagnetic fields as they would be generated by positive and negative electric charges, both at rest and in motion (top), as well as those that would theoretically be created by magnetic ...

Magnetic monopoles have provided a rich field of study, leading to a wide area of research in particle physics 4,5,6, solid-state physics 7, ultra-cold gases 8, superconductors 9, cosmology 4 and ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. When you talk about the fundamental forces in the universe, there are ...

Editor's note: The original online version of this story was previously posted. Magnets are remarkable exemplars of fairness—every north pole is invariably accompanied by a counterbalancing south pole ...

The resulting destruction of the quantum monopole gives birth to a Dirac monopole. "I was jumping in the air when I saw for the first time that we get a Dirac monopole from the decay. This discovery ...

Scientists have managed to create artificial magnetic monopoles. To do this, they merged tiny magnetic whirls, so-called skyrmions. At the point of merging, the physicists were able to create a ...

Bizarre magnetic behavior that was predicted by a famous physicist more than 80 years ago has finally been demonstrated in the lab, according to a new study. The behavior of an electron in response to ...
