The Standard Model allows the electron to have an electric dipole moment of up to 10 -38e cm (e is the electron’s charge).

Theories such as supersymmetry, which purports that every known particle has a supersymmetric partner particle with different traits, assume that the charge distribution in an electron is ever so ...

Visualizing the mechanism of charge transfer between two oxides. (Courtesy: W Gao, UC Irvine) Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) can be used to detect electric charge density as well as ...

Forget high-school physics, an electron's charge can take a fractional value in weird conditions.

Splitting up the indivisible: quasiparticles separate an electron’s spin, charge, and orbit Free electrons are indivisible, but researchers have separated the electron's … ...
