Aharonov-Bohm Effect…
Topics: General Relativity, Gravity, Modern Physics, Quantum Mechanics The idea that particles can feel the influence of potentials even without being exposed to a force field may seem counterintuitive, but it has long been accepted in physics thanks to experimental demonstrations involving electromagnetic interactions. Now physicists in the US have shown that this so-called Aharonov-BohmContinue reading “Aharonov-Bohm Effect…”
