  • 08:50: ... anti-hydrogen is electrically neutral, it does have a small magnetic moment - like a tiny bar magnet. ALPHA introduces a new magnetic field that ...

2018-08-23: How Will the Universe End?

  • 13:46: OK, onto your comments for last week's episode on the most accurate prediction in all of science, the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron.

2018-08-15: Quantum Theory's Most Incredible Prediction

  • 04:57: It also gives you completely the wrong answer if you try to calculate the electron's magnetic moment.
  • 11:41: So it's really the relationship between the electron magnetic moment and the fine structure constant that we're verifying.
  • 05:23: This difference between the quantum versus classical magnetic moments for the electron is called the G factor.

2017-09-28: Are the Fundamental Constants Changing?

  • 05:17: Now, quantum spin gives electrons what we call a magnetic moment.
