Bill Angel Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) This is a nice review article / tutorial describing work to investigate magnetic monopole like behavior in crystals at very low temperatures. http://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/materials/the-hunt-for-the-magnetic-monopole Edited October 30, 2013 by Bill Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristalris Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Interesting. Has anyone ever thought of speeding up a magnet to an as great as possible speed to see if it becomes more and more monopole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad-Scientist Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 This is interesting, if what the article states is all correct, then this proves that monopoles do exist. Even in this unstable form, it opens possibilities to creating new forms of technology in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Externet Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I was able to create a zeropole (magnet with no poles); scientists should be able to do a monopole... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Squared Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Fascinating. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoola Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 In regards to the concept of the speeding magnet in space idea, what would happen to the field if the magnet approaches the speed of light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 In regards to the concept of the speeding magnet in space idea, what would happen to the field if the magnet approaches the speed of light? You would get a combination of a magnetic field and electric field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoola Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 How would the electric field be manifest within space with no proximate conductor to appear upon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoola Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) so the charge would appear on the magnet itself or in an external field? If the charge appears externally, wouldn't that react with the magnetic field to produce an electromagnetic field, and become essentially an oscillator, and transmit EMF?

MomentTheory Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Interesting. Has anyone ever thought of speeding up a magnet to an as great as possible speed to see if it becomes more and more monopole? Perhaps the synchronous rotation of the moon could be thought of as displaying this effect, and has resulted in its mono pole alignment with the earth if we consider the lack of rotation the "mono axis"?? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The charge is already there. A magnet is a bit of matter, with protons and electrons in it, as is a current-carrying loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad-Scientist Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Any follow-ups to the magnetic monopole (work by UAB, Spain) created by the Magnetic 'Wormhole' earlier this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
