... localized charge distribution, then V ( r d ) ~ 1 r and E ( r d ) = −∇V ( r d ) ~ 1 r 2 . If the localized charge distribution has no net electric charge, then for r d the potential V ( r d ) and hence the electric field E ( r d ) will fall of more rapidly than 1 r and 1 r 2 , respectively. {Please ...

Proceeding directly from the electron's equations of motion, Thomson proved that the electron's kinetic energy is proportional to its frequency of revolution and that it rotates on the surfac ...

This implies automatically matter antimatter asymmetry since either fermions or anti-fermions would have negative energies. This option could be realized in long length scales and expla ...

... In 1961 Murray Gell-Mann and Yuval Ne’eman independently proposed a classification system called the eightfold way that separated the known particles into multiplets based on charge, hypercharge, and another quantum number called isospin, which we have not previously discussed. Isospin is a characte ...

Quantum vacuum thruster
A quantum vacuum plasma thruster (or Q-thruster) is a proposed type of spacecraft thruster that would work in part by acting on the virtual particles produced by quantum vacuum fluctuations. This was proposed as a possible model for an engine that could produce thrust without carrying its own propellant. Some physicists working with microwave resonant cavity thrusters think that they might be the first examples of such an engine.
