Numerous and all unsuccessful attempts of experimental search for monopole in cosmic rays and on accelerators in high energy particle collisions have been done since the possibility of existence of a magnetic monopole has been surveyed in…
It is shown that the magnetic force between thin, semi-infinite solenoids obeys a Coulomb-type law, which corresponds to that for magnetic monopoles placed at the end points of each solenoid. We derive the magnetic Coulomb law from the…
We review the observational and theoretical constraints on extragalactic magnetic fields across cosmic environment. In the next decade, the combination of sophisticated numerical simulations and various observational probes might succeed in…
It is shown that a magnetic monopole appears as the tension state of the primary electric charge at its motion through each section of the path equal to the particle's de Broglie wavelength. This conclusion is followed from a submicroscopic…
While magnetic monopoles have extensive theoretical justification for their existence, but have proved elusive to observe, ball lightning is both relatively frequently observed and largely unexplained theoretically. It was first proposed in…
Electrically charged particles, such as the electron, are ubiquitous. By contrast, no elementary particles with a net magnetic charge have ever been observed, despite intensive and prolonged searches. We pursue an alternative strategy,…
The noncommutativity concept has wide range of applications in physical and mathematical theories. Noncommutativity in the position-time coordinates concerns the microscale structure of space-time. the noncommutativity is an intrinsic…
Magnetic monopoles are predicted in various unified gauge models and could be produced at intermediate mass scales. Their detection in a neutrino telescope is facilitated by the large amount of light emitted compared to that from muons.…
One of the basic properties of magnetism is that a magnet has always two poles, north and south, which cannot be separated into isolated poles, the magnetic monopoles. There are strong theoretical arguments in favour of monopoles'…
The possibility of the magnetic monopole decay in the constant electric field is investigated and the exponential factor in the probability is obtained. Corrections due to Coulomb interaction are calculated. The relation between masses of…
Existing theoretical and observational constraints on the abundance of magnetic monopoles are limited. Here we demonstrate that an ensemble of monopoles forms a plasma whose properties are well determined and whose collective effects place…
In order to satisfy the symmetry between electric and magnetic fields in the source free Maxwell's equations, electric charges might have magnetic counterparts: magnetic monopoles. Many methods and techniques are proposed to search for the…
The axion electromagnetic anomaly induces an oscillating electric dipole for {\em any} static magnetic dipole. Static electric dipoles do not produce oscillating magnetic moments. This is a low energy theorem which is a consequence of the…
The twentieth century has thrown up exotic concepts -- dark matter, gravity waves, Higgs Bosons, Magnetic Monopoles and so on. The sad truth is that even after several decades, these remain elusive to observation and experiment. Some are…
A simple physical insight into the origin of the magnetic moment anomaly of electron is presented. This approach is based on the assumption that the electromagnetic mass of the electron due to the electric field generated by electron charge…
I give a theoretical overview of magnetic monopoles, focusing on the physical perspective of monopoles as hypothetical particles rather than as mathematical objects. I argue that monopoles are exceptionally interesting hypothetical…
Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical particles that may exist as quantized sources and sinks of the magnetic field. In materials, they may appear in an emergent quantum electrodynamics described by a U(1) lattice gauge theory. Particularly,…
Dark sectors with Abelian gauge symmetries can interact with ordinary matter via kinetic mixing. In such scenarios, magnetic monopoles of a broken dark $U(1)$ will appear in our sector as confined milli-magnetically charged objects under…
We return to further examination of the need for the existence of magnetic monopoles based on the decades old derivation [Sherman Frankel, Amer. Jour. of Physics, 44, 7, 683-6 1976], of both the monopole-charge force, vec(F) = eg(vec(r) *…
A new force on the magnetic dipole, which exists in the presence of both electric and magnetic fields, is described. Its origin due to the `hidden momentum', implications and possible experimental tests are discussed.
