HTTP:: Magnetic Monopole 039 Cousins 039 Obtained at NIST
--------
Everyone knows that one of the most basic traits magnets have is sporting two poles. If you break a larger magnet into two smaller ones, then each of the them will have a “north” and a “south pole.” For some time, experts have theorized that it could be possible to create magnetic monopoles, as in materials that only exhibit the “north” or the “south” pole, and not both at once. Now, after many years, experts at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have managed to create the large-scale “cousins” of magnetic monopoles inside the laboratory. This feat will hopefully move most of the studies in this matter from the chalkboard to experimental lab setups, the NIST experts that have made the breakthrough say. Famous physicist Paul Dirac first proposed the concept back in 1931, after examining a set of complex equations that were used to determine the connection between electricity and magnetism and tie the two theories together in on!
e. As far as electricity goes, electric monopoles exist and have been studies extensively. For example, an electron is a negatively charged monopole, while a proton is its positively charged counterpart, e! Science News reports. Speaking about the new achievement at NIST, Jeff Lynn, a physici...
